So, let me start by saying I love Thermaltake. I know many that hate them, and I can see why. I still love them, but man, they do put out some junk sometimes.
I have two variable speed 90MM fans. If connected directly to a molex connector, they run around 70CFM or some crazy number like that, and sound like an F-16 taking off next to me. Combine that with all the crazy blue glowy lights and gunshots ringing, and I start worrying about the FBI showing up...
I bought the Thermaltake X-Controller (5 1/4" drive bay, controls four fans individually), but it's already starting to wear out after only a couple of months. The blue LEDs (lame, I know), around the knobs are dying, and the knobs themselves won't turn smoothly anymore. Waste of money, waste of time.
I'm looking for something similar. I would prefer to keep it under $30, and it must control at least three fans, but more are better. Fitting in a 5 1/4" bay would be ideal, but I might take a look at something else. I would prefer something with a black faceplate if possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks.
