Big Budget Fans for Fan and Cooling

I installed these fans in my kid's game console last week. I upgraded my main work/production PC and in the process repurposed my Ryzen 7 3800X rig and turned it into a gaming rig for my kids. They loved it as they now have enough power to play any game in 4K resolution, but I left the case fans and needed to find something that looked and worked well to complement their setup. These fans are ideal for this purpose. At around $7 per fan, they're a lot nicer than I expected, cooling is on par with most other 120mm fans, and they really look awesome. These fans don't have a header or a way to control them via software, but they were perfect for my needs. My kids use it more like a glorified gaming console than a computer, so they just want to launch it and run games, they don't want to set up fan profiles and do all the customizations that I personally love to do. The fans run at full speed right out of the box, so all you have to do is set up "RGB Color Display" with the supplied remote control and you're good to go. The fans retain their RGB selection after the PC is turned off and are very easy to connect and use. In my opinion, these are exceptional budget fans.
