Next week I will be getting a TT Armour case.
Ive been thinking of doing some mods but wasnt sure where to start.
Im thinking of painting the inside with UV reactive paint, and setting up UV lighting around the edges of the case.
I was also thinking of putting an LED fan in my tuniq tower, any suggestions for a good LED 120mm?
Also if I had UV lights do you think it would look good to paint all my fans in UV reactive paint?

Thanks for future input.

You can buy UV reactive fans. It will probably look better than painting them.

All of the UV fans ive looked at so far don't have very good CFM, so I was thinking of getting one with really good CFM and painting that.

Most UV fans are clear too. I would rather see a "solid" UV fan than a clear one.

My vote goes toward painting UV. Try Newegg.com for case fans. Then sort how you view them by popularity or reviews. There are a couple 120's with GREAT reviews.

Good luck! Don't forget to disassemble your fan first! That way you don't junk up all the bearings or motor or whatever is inside fans than make them turn. lol

Boy do I have the solution for you!!! Here is a green UV reactive fan, that is actually green and not clear, AND it moves almost 70CFM! Not bad!!
Green 120mm Fan (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2765/fuv-08/Green_UV_Reactive_120mm_Fan.html?tl=g36c15s521)

I actually just purchased this fan and here (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7318) are pictures of it in my case (I have the armor too)

As far as another GREAT 120mm fan, thermaltake makes the best as far as I am concerned. Ther Thermaltake Smartfan is a 120mm blue LED fan that comes with a PCI slot controller...it also comes with a jumper so you dont have to use the controller, but the jumper just has the fan run at max speed..."damn" you say...all or nothing! Not so my fine feathered friend! It also comes with a thermometer...a very thin metal wire encased in plastic that can be mounted on or near your processor or videocard (or wherever) and it will automatically adjust the speed depending on the temp. inside the case.
And the best part about it? The sheer amount of air this bad boy moves...it's adjustable from 38.6CFM to 93.7CFM. "HOLY SH*T!" you say "Where can I find this amazing product!?" Well here (http://www.jab-tech.com/product.php?productid=2235) it is!

Hope this helped! Happy modding :banana:
