Fan controller for Antec Super Lanboy?

[bravacentauri83]

Looking for either a 3.5" or 5.25" fan controller that will fit inside an Antec Super Lanboy case. Only requirement is that it needs to support 3-pin fan connectors.

Any suggestions?

Maby an Antec SmartPower. It has a built in fann controller that fits into a 5.25 bay.

Then you can get three to four pin fan adapters

(It might not be that but antec has something)

I have a Super Lanboy.

I have AEROGATE 1 fan controller installed on it. I had to install it a little bit inside to allow the door to close.

I'm using a Vantec Nexus fanspeed controller with my superlanboy, looks wonderful and works as well as i need, but it might not be well enough for some.

I espicially love the blue glow that it adds behind the door. The door fits perfectly over it as well.

Galvanized - Are you certain this will fit in the Super Lanboy? I'm thinking the door may have clearance issues with the knob but I do not know for sure.

Does anyone actually use this controller with the SLB?

The knobs on the Sunbeam are under 1/2" protrusion. Or check the Aerogate 3 at SVC.com for $8. +sh - no knobs...

So does that mean yes or no? It seems the bottom bay of the SLB might work but it's too close to call. I'm sure someone here has tried this combo.
I'll look into the Aerogate 3 but I really like the simplicity of the knobs and I don't care for a display. I may end up having to go that route though.

I was in CompUSA over the weekend and saw a CompUSA branded controller. It had controls for 3 fans and two USB 2.0 ports. I believe it was about $10.00. I just checked their web site but didn't see them listed or I would have provided a link.

I haven't used it myself so I can't say how good they are but the extra USB 2.0 connectors seem nice to have. If you have a CompuUSA around you might check it out.

The nice thing about the AG3 is that you can watch the fan speed while you are adjusting - at that price you can just ignore the other features. Trying to crane your neck to see your monitor while adjusting might not be a lot of fun depending on where your case is located.

But I too like the simplicity of the Sunbeam and AG1 type controllers.
