I know it may seem a stupid question but as many of us do; I like it when the build looks good.

I am planning on purchasing some Noctua NF-F12 fans (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-case-fan-nff12pwm) to replace the stock ones in my liquid cooling (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060025ww) simply because the stock ones are a bit noisy and I know Noctuas great reputation.

My only concern, wanting the build to look nice, is the colour of the fans. Would you recommend spray painting them to the colour I want or will I not be able to see them through the top of the case (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-case-phes515pbk)?

Thanks.

I would not suggest painting any fan blades. you can throw the fan off balance and the entire point of the nice noctuas would be for naught.
I doubt that you'll see them from the case.
How much time to you stand above the case staring down?
