Fan Controller or Stealth Fans

[RagingGuardian]

I have 3 annoyiny fans in my case and need to lower the noise level. I wanted to know if it's best to get a Vantec fan controller from SVC or buy 3 stealth fans. Buying 3 stealth fans woul cost more than getting the rheobus or whatever it's called. Anybody has any views on this?

i'd get the fan speed controller. you can control a whole lota fans with it and quiet any fan pretty much. also gives you options, in the winter, why move so much air? make it practically dead silent slow i have both stealths and a fan speed controller

Ditto. The controller and some good fans will do as well as the Stealth fans, if not better. Stealths are quiet, but not that quiet.

Fan controller, because you can turn a fan off with it.

Get a fan with manually adjustable RPMs, SVC sells the Enermax ones for $9. There are a few other ones, but those are the best.

Thanks for the advice. About to go order right now.

Why not get some Panaflo fans with a fan controller (Zalman Fan Mate)? That would probably be the best setup for a quiet system. Check out www.silentpcreview.com. They got lots of info on cooling, quieting a pc, and more.

The only problem is that I'm trying to quiet the pc down the cheapest I can. Buying 3 fans would cost more than buying a fan controller.

yup, just buy the 20 dollar controller from svc or whereever and be done with it.
