I've been looking at LED fans to go on the side of my case and i'm wondering is there really a point spending $20 on a corsair or cooler master led fan, when you can get a led fan for $5-10?

i don't have much money so should i go with a cheaper one or will they look bad?

expensive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cooler-Master-R4-L2R-20CR-GP-120mm-Red-LED-Long-Life-Sleeve-Case-Fan-Brand-New-/311206167520?pt=US_Computer_Case_Fans&hash=item48755543e0

cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120mm-4LED-Blue-4-Pin-Fans-For-Computer-Case-Cooling-PC-/170847605317?pt=AU_Components&hash=item27c74f9245

Only if you want it to last more than three months. Cheap fans have cheap bearings and poor blade designs so they are louder, don't last as long and generally don't flow near as much air, regardless what their padded spec sheet says.

No problem. Me, I'd go with a good Noctua, BeQuiet or Corsair Maglev fan for the simple fact that they're much, much quieter than most fans and seem to last forever. Noctua does have some fan models that are not that godawful brown and the BeQuiet fans are basically black. You can always add led lighting if you want eye candy.
