case mod idea

[jhick40]

alright, i was browsing xoxide looking for a cheap way to mod the case im getting. the explorer has a built in fan controller, and fans with double sided molex connectors, so i'm getting three 80mm fans. i also found a logisys led bar, blue to match the case, with the same connectors. if i plugged these in the same circuit as the fans (connected to the controller) would it be lighter/dimmer as it got more or less voltage? i'm assuming that's how the controller works, by decreasing or increasing voltage and i could run the bar from the powersupply, but i thought it would be cool to have it dim in silent mode, and get bright as teh fans ran more.

well yes the light will get darker when you turn it down

but remeber, some 80mm fan when you turn down there speed make awinning noise that will be more anoiing that the fan on full

120 dont do that as much

the case has 80mm slots, but thanks for the advice. i'll try to find quiet fans.

ya the only way to do it is to ask aroung about them
