3 of my fans gave out on me so i have been intending to get some more. I have been looking around trying to decide what to get but im not 2 sure. I want fans with blue led lights but I don't want them giving out on me for a little while. I am also going to get a temp monitor and the one I am looking at had fan controllers. Do the fans need to be a certain type or do the the fan contollers connect to any fan.

basicaly what are some good case fans that have blue led's, and do I need special fans to connect them to a fan controller?

You can connect any standard 12v fan to a fan controller, no need for any special fan. Be aware that using a fan controller to slow down your fans will also dim the leds in the fans. I don't really know who makes the best fans, but I have some non-lighted Panaflo fans that work fine for me.

The Antec blue LED fans are pretty good ball bearing fans.

Thats right Cricket. That is what I am using now in my comp and there are no problems. Just be careful not to be too rough on the wires. I made that mistake and kinda had a bad LED that is a little jumpy from bending a wire wrong! hehe :D
