Antec 1200 case fan mod

Why don't you just buy an adpator instead of cutting the wires??

I use a variety of fan cable adapters, splitters, and extensions.

because the adapters dont include the sensing wire which i would like to have for my fan controller

And that's your problem. The Antec case fans weren't designed to be used that way.

My question is, "Do you really need a fan controller, or do you just want one?

I have three Antec 900 cases (same type of fans). I discovered that the air flow on LOW is good enough that my temps do not change when I increase the fan speed to MEDIUM or HIGH.

I think you have two alternatives:
1. Get a fan controller that you manually vary the speed, or
2. Get a fan controller that plugs into the motherboard for automatic temperature sensing and speed control.

its ok i did it anyway. you see i bought the NZXT sentry LX

and it only controlls and monitors 3 pin fans so i simply cut all the cords off the antec fans and wired my own 3 pin connectors on it and it works fine. yay for modding

Hey I had a question about the antec 1200. On the back of my HD cages there is only one additional fan to go behind one of the three cages. I was wondering if they either they sold extras or if anyone has moded one or heard of that mod???
