Sorry for the awful pun. so issue is I want at least 2-3 really good fans. I have a Asus m5a99fx evo 2.0 mono and I am getting a cougar solution case from a friend for free. But I need 4 pin fans from what I'm told. Either 2 120mm or 1 140mm for the front and then 2 more for the top of the case. I want them led colored (color type doesn't matter). But my budget ips 18 dollars max for each fan, please help a builder in need. Thanks everyone !
 
Caveat; Molex connected fans will ALWAYS run at their max speed.

3-4pin (the small ones) for fans will have the ability for the computer to adjust the speed of the fans as needed.

A fan controller card/5.5" insert will all you to manage more fans than your Mobo might allow though.

These fans should be powerful and quiet enough, and you can choose your LED color on the right side:

You might need some splitter cables so you can hook them all up to your motherboard though:
