Soooo

I've recently build my new PC, and it runs nicely. The only thing that bugs me is that i only have 1 140mm fan in front of my case.

Now, i like looking at my parts, and having 2 different fans would look absolutely horrible to me. So is there any way for me to get another stock fan which would be the same as the one that came with the case?

Case is Corsair 330R Blackout edition. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-330r

I've tried looking for the fan, but i can't seem to buy it anywhere. Is it even possible to obtain?

Yes, but i would also like to save as much money as possible.
 
I would guess your best bet would be to ask Corsair if you can buy one through their spares/replacement parts service - I've not seen their "plain black" fans for sale outside of their cases (you'd have thought they'd just have used their AF/SP range ...).

If it's the stock configuration, it should work well.

My case has a stock green fan in the front (with leds), later i added another fan, of different brand and white leds, and it still looks great. Was like $6 cheaper than a fan with green leds.

Isn't that case supposed to work closed anyway so you won't see the fan(s)? Just buy some baseline black fan from any good brand and use it, the difference won't be that shocking.

Since corsair doesn't sell plain black fans, here are some suggestions:

almost identical to the one in your case, if not exactly the same:

I found the fan on their store, but i only seem to be able to buy it if i am living in America or the UK. I've now send in a support ticket, so hopefully my problem will be resolved.



True that the case is supposed to stay closed, but i still like to look at my components, and even the slightest difference puts me off :p.

Yeah it does look pretty much the same. If corsair tells me that obtaining the identical fan is impossible, i will probably go for the rosewill one. Thanks!

So i just found out that i can only buy that rosewill fan from amazon.com. If i buy it from there, it will be more expensive because of taxing rules here in my country. Do you have any other alternatives that i might be able to find on amazon.co.uk?
