Default NZXT Lexa Blackline

There are 2 colors u can get the NZXT Lexa Blackline in, blue or red leds. Im not a big fan of the red and therefore want the blue leds but unfortunatly i cant find any retailers that sell the blue led version in the US. If anyone knows where i can get one or if i can just change the red led fans with blue led fans and it will have the same effect, it would be greatly appreciated.

Antec sells 120mm blue led fans separately as well as other brands that should go right in that brand case there unless you locate a vendor that carries one with the blue color included. Since blue led fans are more popular vendors will tend to run of those when seen on a brand new case coming out. A good review on it is seen at http://www.techpowerup.com/printrevi...Lexa_Blackline

When you can't what you are looking for at the usual vendor what do you do? http://www.nzxt.com/buy/north_america/usa

I ran into the same page seen there. If that is incorrect the manufacturer's list of sellers is seen on the other link posted earlier. The model seen at newegg was red led there.

As a last resort you could always swap out the red for blue if you are set on this model case. Often gaming styled cases are seen with the red led fans when the color of the case itself is black. The silver colored always seem to come with blue.

You may be surprised to learn that the Blackline style replaces an almost identical model with a silver/chrome type front face with a 500w supply included at http://www.xoxide.com/nzxt-lexa-case-500w.html

Yea thx for the help guys but i actually found the case in blue. I would just swap the fans out but the problem is that the lcd would still be red.

Keeping looking if you are set on that one model. Sometimes a vendor is simply out of stock when a newer model case goes fast and later restocks. The cases with the blue led are bound to resurface again where that make and model case is sold. Here with the Antec 900 the hd and power single led are blue while I was kind of used to the old case with the two red leds on the face not top. Yet the older case before the last could have used the blue since the red was too dimm.
