I couldn't tell what kind of plug it has and they couldn't tell me when I called. Just figured for $1 I'd have it if I needed it, if not now then later.

I ordered on 4/27 and chose the free delivery, but I just got mine in Pittsburgh by FedEx

Also, looks like the splitter isn't necessary.

I have two of the blue fans on the front (intake) of an Antex 10xx case, and the blue light coming out through the intake grill is really cool!

I volt modded the fans to 7V and they're quiet (just a tad louder than an NMB), but the light dimmed a lot -- still okay for my application, but maybe too dim to illuminate the inside of a case.

Are those Antec fans? Antec makes quiet, reliable fans.
I forget the brand, but they are good fans. I have 10 or so of them. None have ever failed or anything. As for quiet, the SVC Quad LED Fan is 28.3 dBA compared with 30 dBA for the Antec (but the SVC has 32.5 CFM of air flow, versus 34 for the Antec). In my view the fans are comparable and SVC's are a little cheaper. To each their own, though. Antec does have a good name.

They sound like they are okay. Thanks.
