That is a really vague question.

What color? How quiet must it be? Air flow? LED color? Material?

We need specifics man.

I just bought this fan. I got the 1200 rpm version not the 800 rpm one in that ^^^ thread. It is soo quiet its hard to believe. I can't hear the fan from 6 inches away over the traffic noise coming from the closed windows of my seventh floor appartment.

- 12v performance - 1200RPM, 17dBA, 48CFM
- 7.5v performance - 600RPM, <6dBA, 24CFM

You can buy separate lighting components to light any fan from what I have heard but I can't remember where. I'll try and dig my mind over.

From what I remember it's a logarithmic scale...so if you want something to be twice as loud you don't double it, you square it. I can't remember my physics so much these days. Bad me.
