my stock fan is 18months old now and getting a bit whirly, i think i would like to replace it with a neon blue one to go with my case lighting, anyone got any recommendations that will be fairly silent and perform well ?

Any 90mm Fan will work, connected to normal FAN-1 or FAN-2, what you really need is a Pulse Fan (PVM).
What shuttle are you running?

I have a SK22G2 so may be slightly different There are 4 pins for the fan slot on the motherboard, although normal fans can fit. Pulse PVM (As I understand) are quieter and can be controlled better within XPC tools. Again all I did was put a 90mm fan inside the ICE container and plugged it in normally.  |

The one I bought was a a 90mm Termaltake fan, must say it works very well. Looking at a picture of your shuttle I would also guess it was a 90mm. Really 2mm shouldn't make too much of a big difference....
