They are enthusiast targeted brand and majority of enthusiast (heck even entry level cases) have windows in it.
Enthusiasts care about the details - airflow, cable management and of course aesthetics. Noctua doesn't. I respect their engineering/no bullshit approach, the price bump is worth it but they lost my money on multiple builds by sticking to their 'brand color'.
They're the Soylent of the fan world - everything you need but spark zero joy.
I'd be interested in seeing sales figures for same fans in their brand and other colors.
- dgellow 5mo agoIm an enthusiast, Noctua color scheme sparks joy for me and are esthetically pleasing. Just saying…
- mrweasel 5mo agoA large part of their business is also industrial applications. I doubt industrial customers care much about the colour and more and volume discounts and ability to provide custom solutions.
