Recommend a Fan Controller for my Antec P180 cases. Needs to be able to control at least 5 fans.

Thanks!

What's the deal with those two switches on the Zalman fan controller? It seems that they only accept two pin fans. What's the point of that? Nobody uses two pin fans.

Well, you aren't exactly monitoring the RPM on all of those fans either. Grab an adapter, clip the ends, and put them in there. I actually use them for powering CC lights...

The System Gardian 6 is what your looking for. It controls 6 fans, 0-12v adjust, monitors cpu, harddrive and lots o other gear. It costs $59 AUD.

For just stright up fan control nothing beats a Sunbeam Rheobus at <$9.

Four Rheostats that can handle 20watts each. Two or three fans can be hooked uo to each one. Never any fan clicking from PWM because it doesn't use it. If your fans will spin as mine do at 4V you have that option. XXoide had them at $7.95, SVC had close to the same price.

No bells or whistels,just VG fan control. I would use one Sunbeam over three of the Zalman brand. What kind of name is that anyway? Oh yeah! They make some kind of has been HSF.

j/k :D
