PRODUCT INSTALLATION

The products were all easy to install, requiring no software or configuration of any kind, they simply needed to be plugged into the right place for full functionality.

The cable, as you can see, takes up very little space inside the case. The computer would look cooler with a bunch of different colored ones, I agree, but I'm doing the best I can!

It seems that the folks at Memorex think you should be able to look directly at your LED fan without risking the loss of your eyesight. Call them crazy if you like, but I think they are on to something. The fan looks cool with its subtle blue (subtlety is rarely seen in modifications). Memorex seems to believe that if you want lots of light in your case, you should buy lights; if you want cool fans in your case, buy these LED fans.

While LED fans are nothing new, Memorex's fan is different than almost every other LED fan on the market. Memorex's is very quiet: you can hardly hear its quiet whirr over the screaming processor fan and the whine of the hard drive. The fan blows out air at an awesome rate, which is strange considering how quiet it is. The ability to spin quickly while keeping a low noise level can be attributed to the fan's "double ball bearing system" which reduces friction in the moving fan parts and makes the fan spin smoothly.
