Okay, so it seems my clearance for one of my fans isn't as deep as I'd expected, so I'm looking at slim line fans, and found this option which seems ideal with a max noise of 18dBA (I probably won't need to run it at full speed) and a clearance of just 15mm which suits me (I can fit just under 20mm).
Anyway, problem is that this fan is PWM only, and I haven't found any comparable, 3-pin options, though I'd appreciate recommendations if there are some I've missed.
If not though, then I need to find a good PWM fan-controller that uses temperature sensors to control the speed automatically, so I'd really appreciate feedback.
Anyway, a quick summary of my requirements:

Anyway, a quick summary of my requirements:
- ■PWM connections for at least one fan, preferably three or more though. Should be compatible with regular 3-pin fans as well if possible.
■Speed should be controlled by setting a target temperature with probes.
■Controller should fit a single 5.25" bay, ideally without being too deep as I actually have a space I may be able to fit a fan controller but not a DVD drive sized device. Don't worry if the controller has side "tabs" for fixing as I can probably remove these myself if I have to.
■I'd prefer a nice smooth speed change, rather than the more common low/medium/high speeds that many controllers offer, though this isn't a requirement.
■Also nice would be the ability to control one fan using more than one temperature probe, as I have more than one key warm area in the case, but probably don't need more than one fan (nothing is particularly high temperature). I don't know if anyone offers this, but it'd be nice to have if it exists, otherwise ignore this one.
