I can see that the fan on the unit is white. All other sources that come up via Google Image search indicates to me that most have taken a picture with the camera's white balance set to auto. Outside of that the mention of the LED's color is not found on the marketing material from Antec.

You shouldn't since tampering with the PSU means that you're dealing with electrical components that can be hazardous to your health if you don't know what you're doing. The caps can hold onto charge for years on end and can electrocute you. It will also mean you're voiding warranty on the PSU. Even if you could, I doubt you'd be able to wire a new fan to the PSU let alone find the right fan with the right RPM curve for the unit.
