What's a good fan and led controller to get?

[crewxp]

Hey, I just bought my stuff (Watercooling, fans, cathodes)

But I thought I could use a fan controller for the front bay of the computer. I have a stacker t01.

I want a cool controller that can adjust the fans and also turn off my lights inside.

To do that, do I need any special cables to hookup the fans to the controller?

ps: I saw a lot on performance-pcs.com and petrastech. I like the cool looking ones (lighted)

the Nexus 301 is a 5.25" bay fan controller which has 3 channels for fan control and one channel for lights (even comes with two 12" blue lights).

You can daisy chain fans on one channel as each channel will handle 18w each. Standard led fans are around 3w each so you can theoretically chain 6 fans on each channel (wouldn't recommend this).

I have the same controller (but for 3.5" bay) and it works great, it will go the full range of 0v to 12v so you can even turn the fans right off if you want. I have each channel running two fans.
