We also got a led fan for you and this is blue and we will see what type of blue we get out of this as many led fans are supposed to be blue but they are more light blue in the end.

USB led cables are pretty much the latest on the modding market and we got a printer cable to test. It was very well packed as the rest of the products. Well it’s time to test the products. First we have the fan grill along with the led fan which is really bright and blue as promised so this will be a great addition to your modded case.

The CCFL works very well and the inverter on it is quiet and makes no noise. I have to say I love the features it has when you can turn on only half of the ccfl for example. The inverter on the IDE cable though make an annoying beep sound which I warned about earlier in the review. I cannot stand the sound after a few minutes so I have to say it’s pretty loud and annoying but the cable looks nice. Well the connectors on the USB cable shine but not all of the cable as the Wisetech USB cable we tested before. This cable has a new feature though as the connectors change color as you can also see below on the picture.

Yellow here and blue on the other picture and I do like this feature even though you might not see it to often as the cable is behind the computer.

Conclusion:

Well I have to say these are very good products all of them even though there are some flaws. What I liked best was the CCFL light as it has cool features and really has that bright blue color that some miss. The only bad flaw I found was the inverter on the IDE cable as it made a beep sound all the time. I cannot stand to be near it when it’s on and I belive everyone agrees with me after they hear it. Another thing was that the led fan does not come with a molex adapter so you have to plug it into the motherboard but what do you do if all are taken? All in all though these are some good products and we give them 4 out of 5 for good modding products that will shine your case up.

Pros:

+ Bright colors
+ Easy to use
+ Does not heat up the case
+ Well packed

Cons:

- IDE cable inverter makes a *beep* sound continiously
- No molex adapter on the led fan
