Other than the "Vegas" wording, the first two pics look like old pics of the original Apollish fans, which have been out for a year or so.

While these fans look cool, their prices are absurd - $25 to $35 online! And forget about the rebate that's accompanied them on-and-off since last summer. It only applies to the purchase of a SINGLE fan! It's been a LONG time since PC cases only needed a single fan...

Honestly, why spend extra money on pretty case fans that you can't see in most cases or LED lights that don't make your computer any faster when you could spend it on more RAM or a better video card. Its like buying those big chrome rims for your car. It'd be better to spend that money under the hood.

Next they'll be making fans that shine lasers onto the blades to make things like a clock that seems to hover in mid air, like those other clocks.

Really you are worried about the little magnets on the fan. How do you think they make hard drives spin? Last time I checked they were pretty powerful magnets. Also how do you think the make the fans spin? With permanent magnets.

I do agree with this. Though serious modders can make some pretty awesome looking cases and it seems like a fun hobbie :]. Now they have another part to chose from.

Well, if you've already maxed out the RAM, CPU, Graphics and storage specs with the latest and greatest in each area, what else is there to spend money on?

Colored fans may look nice, but they have the worst MTBF making them a ripoff when it's time to replace a dead fan every six months, especially if your rig is on 24/7.

Low noise and high MTBF are what make a good fan IMO, not a bunch of diodes that crap out randomly.
