Please recommend a 5.25 fan controller

[mooncancook]

I like fanmates but I don't wanna have a bunch of those in my case. I had a 3.5" controller before and when I hook a LED fan to it the LED keeps flashing (on and off). I'm looking for a 5.25" controller for my new P180 case now, any recommendation?

the flashing is because the controller uses PWM to zap the fans.

how much do you want to spend?

cheap: vantec
not cheap: matrix orbital

how much room is there for knobs behind the door?

the aerogate3 is nice, all buttons, no knobs. look around frozencpu, jabtech, xpcgear etc.

like the dangler said, alot of options and alot of price ranges.

Aerogate 1 - my review here: http://www.techimo.com/reviews/ was on clearance for $5. last time I looked at http://www.SVC.com and the AG3 was on sale for $15. there too.

I say get the Coolermaster Aerogate 3. I just ordered one myself. I always wanted to get it but it used to be like $40. I just picked on up from www.svc.com though for $14.99. It was a great deal, you should check it out.

Still a fan of the Sunbeam at a solid 20W/ch and the ability to completely turn off fans if need be.

"AKASA" FAN CONTROL PRO. IMHO, the best.

I'll second the Sunbeam, that's the one I use.......😉

Third the Sunbeam.

Sunbeam is very good. My Vantec 3.5" has been stellar also.

Thanks for the replies.

Aerogate 3 looks pretty good to me and price is decent.
I googled sunbeam products and they seems to have knobs. I don't prefer knobs in a case a door.
Also Asaka looks really nice, but where I can buy it from? I don't seem to be able to fr/google up any US retailers.
