Xigmatek XLF-F2003 200mm Black / Orange LED Case Fan:
http://www.freshtechsolutions.co.u [...] e-fan.html

 

Xigmatek XLF-F2003 200mm LED Fan - Red:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xigmatek-X [...] rvi_cart_4

 

I know they are described as different colours but the pictures look the similar, the one with the curvy blades could be like that due to the angle the picture was taken, and i tried to search for an orange one on amazon and couldnt find it.On newegg.com it says orange too. And if they are different is it safe to buy from www.freshtechsolutions.co.uk?

 

and will these work well on an nzxt phantom enthusiast black/orange(either side or top)?

Xigmatek XLF-F2003 home page. There is just one XLF-F2003 model so the two listings are for an identical part.

If you want your colours to match and to be able to use the LED light switch you're probably better off going with another NZXT fan.

The Bitfenix fans are only 20mm tall vs the 30mm NZXT Phantom fans.
That should not be a problem but you want to eyeball the attachment points and confirm that.

LEDs on the Xigmatek XAF-F1453 are White. The fan blades are orange.
I'm thinking go with the BitFenrix

that video isnt the right one, the xigmatek is orange blacdes, and heres a picture of them on http://www.xigmatek.com/product.php?productid=138, and this is the bitfenix which is actually black with orange LEDs which is the same as the 200mm we were talking about except smaller http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bitfenix-S [...] rvi_cart_3

I think you want to try and find videos that show the fan in operation.
To get a better idea of what they look like lit up and in operation.

under 20 decibels is a quiet fan.
Higher CFM (cubic feet per minute) would move more air.
