so i am going to install 2 delta 120mm fans in my case (one front intake one rear exaust) and i dont want my room to sound like a jet liner so i want a fan controller for normal use

i need one that fits in a 5..25 bay

none on the egg had good reviews (egg reviews arent always reliable anyways)

my case is black so im hoping for a black grill but silver wouldnt be horrible

- i dont really need temp sensors because im just gonna crank em for gaming so my pc wont fry in its desk compartment

-id prefer full voltage 0-12 where turning the dial or control can go from off to full blast (most importanly the full 12v

Frozen CPU has a few - maybe their PWM unit will do the trick:

I'm not sure what the minimum votage is on the pot but the unit does have an off/on switch.

I use a Vantec Nexus 301. It's great. It has 3 fan controllers, which can handle up to 18 watts each(more than enough for any fan you'll want/need). Each is infinitely adjustable from 0-12v. It also comes with 2 CCFL's. You can get them in black or silver. Newegg is down tonight, so i just used Bigfoot's site so you can see it, and read it's specs.

Vantec is nice (I have the 305), Cooler master, Zalman, thermal take and Silverstone are some makers.

This CoolerMaster is only good from 7v-12v. And in that article, i didn't see it said that is variably adjustable. It may only have a 7v and a 12v setting.

Yeah the pictures always look crappy in no/low light conditions.

PS. I have to admit, i really like the idea of your choice of three different backlight colors. Looks kewl. :wink:
