Hi,
I'm looking at replacing the top and back fans of my Rosewill Challenger PC case with two blue LED fans like the one in the front. What fans are a good bang for the buck (moving a lot of air while not being too loud)? And do you think I should get a fan controller?
Thanks

Coolermaster makes many good LED fans, I have 4 in my case and they are quiet and look good. I'm not sure which mobo you have but many have about 3 fan headers (Aside from the CPU). So if you're able to plug them all into the mobo I wouldn't waste money on a fan controller unless you will be doing some heavy overclocking and want to control everything. However if you don't have enough mobo headers for them then a fan controller is good because plugging it direct to a molex connector ends in the fan running at full tilt all the time which can make unwanted noise. If you don't mind it then you don't need the controller.

I'm looking at this Cooler Master Fan (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103060&cm_re=blue_led_fan-_-35-103-060-_-Product) What do you think of it?

I have the exact fan in red in my case, it is very good, extremely quiet. The color effect is fairly dark, the image they show it looks more blue than in real life, however IMHO it still looks very cool. In the end if you don't like it its easy enough to return. I like mine.
