Fan Contoller

[imported_Rusty]

Looking for recomendations on a good fan controller. It needs to be able to handle 3 Cooler Master LED fans plus two Antec black case fans for now. May be 5 Cooler Master LED fans in a year or so. No need for USB or Firewire ports on the controller as all the headers on my motherboard are full. It needs to fit in an Antec PlusView 1000AMG with the door closed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Vantec Nexus. They have a few different models available. I use the basic 5.25" version. 4 fan controllers, but you can stack fans so one rheostat will control 2 or 3. You'll have to wire up the fans to do it though, it only has the 4 3-pin connectors.

As for fitting a case with the door closed, good luck. You can take off the rheostat knobs so that just the short pegs stick out, but I'm not sure how much space that will give you. I think most fan controllers can do this, but may have different length pegs depending on the model of rheostats used.

Yup, mine works great for my silent PC.

not true, the doors have space behind them, easily fit controllers knobs.
