Need fanbus advice

[Geto]

For a avid overclocker with no idea on baybus's what do you recommand?

I just want to be able to turn off my extra fans during idle time.
What do you recommand, something easy to assembly and user friendly.

thank you

Refer to Cliff's and Mod zone . These are not the only sites of course but two good places to start especially "Cliff's fanbus" site.

Chris, thank you for the reply. I'll check them out.

Geto, No problem. You can rig it up quite easily. Good luck.

PC mods Has their bay bus on sale for $19.99. 6watts per switch, which should handle one to two fans per switch unless you have screamers that use more then 6watts. Three positions, on, off, and veriable that you set. And you just have to drill your 5" drive bay cover plate. To me its a resonable price, and no I don't have one, but have been meaning to get one for awhile now, just other projects that I want to do come up.

hehe darth 😛

anyways i installed it today, and installation took me about an hour. if you're good with tools, then it should be even quicker. I practiced drilling the holes with the template on an old drivebay cover before drilling the real ones. i'm glad to say that the fanbus is working fine and the leds look l33t =)
