|  Gigabyte 3D Aurora question Im thinking about getting this Aurora: Gigabyte Black 3D Aurora Aluminum Full Tower ATX Case w/ Window Im not too crazy about led fans tho, I was wondering if it would be easy for me to switch them out for some scythes instead? Also if anyone has this particular case could they tell me how well the fans perform and how well it ventilates and everything? Thanks!

  | Re: Gigabyte 3D Aurora question If you don't want LEDs, you can just cut off the wires powering them. That's what I did to all of my LED fans. aspire.comptech should be able to tell you how those fans work. He has that case too. |

| Re: Gigabyte 3D Aurora question It shouldn't be too hard to either snip the LED wires or to just replace the fans.
