Aesthetically Pleasing H100 Fans

[daDonn]

I'm composing a fairly highly-specced new rig for myself, and am nervous about taking the plunge in a full-blown water cooling rig - so Corsair's H100 seems to be a pretty good compromise. The biggest fault I can identify with it seems to be with the included fans - they push plenty of air, but are pretty loud.

I am therefore looking for a couple of replacement 120mm fans - taking a consideration for the aesthetics of the fans as well as their performance. Naturally, there'll have to be some trade-offs somewhere - I cannot have the quietest and the coolest fans around - but I aim to find a better balance than the stock fans provide.

Regarding the looks of the fans; I'd like something that will match the black-and-red schema taken with the rest of the build, whether the fans are completely black, completely red or partially both. Red LEDs would be nice, but I can't have everything

. This rules out the entire Noctua range, which despite apparently working very quietly and pushing lots of air, have the disgusting brown colour :/.

I know that I'm asking a lot, but does anybody have any direct experience with some fans that may suit? To be honest I'm kinda overwhelmed with the sheer quantity of fans out there - there are too many options

Gotta say the Bitfenix Spectre Pro's ive just got for my Rig seem pretty good

The CoolerMaster Sickleflows i had before arnt bad either, They do get a bit noisy when you ramp the voltage up though. But they cooled my Antec 620 cooler fairly well (like the H100 but just a 120mm rad) I never ran them max either

Bitfenix Spectre Pro's, would get my vote.

Wow, I don't know how those ones escaped my research, but they definitely look the part. And I can get them with red LEDs to boot!

If you want something different from almost everyone else Cougar makes some nice fans with orange blades and they have a lot of technology in them plus they are supposed to be pretty quiet
