Fan Baybus, any suggestions?

[biofobia]

I need one of those fan controlling baybus'.. i found one for $23 on f.r.o.z.e.n.c.p.u.c.o.m that has 4 switches in which each switch can be turned 12v, off, or pre-defined voltage (5V-11V lownoise)... i was thinking about getting that one ... im going to hook up 8 fans.. each swtich can hold 6W ... and most of my fans use around 2 W... 4 intake , 2 outake, 1 cpu, and 1 hdd... are the fans i would like to control.. any suggestions on any better baybus?

if ur gonna use those fans that you mentioned, i think you should be fine. just dont go over 6W. Which fans are these? are they loud?

I have two from PCMods which look like they're the same as the one you're looking at--both work fine.

they are 80mm panaflo H1a fans... and 1 120mm L1A fan... hdd fan (32db) ... and psu fan (not sure how loud)...

I'm thinking about buying the baybus from pcmods.com, but I had a few questions.

I was going to hook 4 fans to it, but I have a question. What kind of hookups do you put into the baybus. Is it 4 pin, like in the powersupply, is it 3 pin, like in the motherboard? Do you just need to buy fans with bare leads on them, so you just have wires? Also, if you could suggest some fans to me that would work good with the baybus I would be thankful. I'm just new at this, and dont' know what I need to be buying. I found some enermax fans at newegg that had the 3 pin connectors, and they also had a converter to make it a 4 pin for the power supply. Do I want this?

Thanks
