I really miss that they don't release white versions. In my all-white case I just can't have Noctua. The brown ones I think are extremely ugly and the black ones stand out too much.
White doesn't really look bad in any case (except perhaps a full black one). The brown is very identifiable but that's only really a point if you desire to flaunt your expensive fans. Because it will stand out too much in almost any build. I honestly don't care about that, and for a fan this price I shouldn't have to put up with hidden advertising.
But I have BeQuiet Silent Wings and they're not bad. Quietness isn't something I'm optimising for anyway as I only use my desktop for gaming and when I do I wear headphones anyway. I do want to optimise more for pressure (as I have air filters) but these fans are no worse than Noctua.
- VorpalWay 6mo agoJust make a brown case (maybe with some walnut accents?) and the brown Noctua fans will be a perfect fit.
- wolvoleo 6mo agoThen I have to look at that brown thing all day :) Yuck I like wood but only light wood, not the dark kind. That reminds me way too much of my grandparents' furniture.
- VorpalWay 6mo agoI usually look at the monitor, not the case under the desk. ;) That said, I don't want RGB bleed, nor do i want a case where I see the insides. The computer is there to be powerful and discreet (both when it comes to noise and looks). But sure, you could skip the walnut. I think Noctua should also go well with lighter woods. Oak perhaps but probably not all the way to birch.

- wolvoleo 6mo agoHuh interesting. I think the black one is super ugly with the dark wood but the white one isn't bad. Still not something I'd buy though.
