Closer look

Motor

3.6 Watts seems reasonable for a fan of this size. There is only a sleeve bearing inside but for most users this shouldn't be a problem at all. On normal use, the fan should offer several years of reliable operation.

Shining nicely

Blue color shines very brightly on a clear sunny day. Finishing seems durable enough for everyday use so you don't need to worry too much when installing this to your computer case.

Building with hot glue

When I said "Closer look" I really meant it . Hot glue can be very useful at times but one should use only limited amounts of it. Very sloppy work on this corner but I'm happy to report that others were fine. These kinds of quality issues may not seem that bad but still there are people that would not want to receive something like this via the post after ordering...

Glowing

So, there are four leds in total. Effect is great but the chrome doesn't shine quite as much as it did when getting in contact with sunlight. Overall a great looking fan.

Noise isn't that bad either. Actually this is one of the most silent 120 mm fans that I've seen, or heard. But I have to wonder if the fan is actually moving as much air as it claims to do on the specs. Too bad that I don't have a meter to test this but perhaps this is a case where the low noise is playing tricks on my senses.
