Can any of you guys recommend a good fan controler. I would like it to be silver and fit in the 5.25" bay. Im leaning towards digital also. Its so hard to tell what is cheap and what is good quality. I aprecieate any suggestions.

I did a bit of research, if you look at newegg reviews, most people complain about all controllers, I finally settled on the Cooler Master Aerogate 3, mainly because it's A)Digital, no knobs to accidentally hit :) B) it comes with 4 thermal probes!!! There's more expensive ones, but this is the only digital one that people were relatively pleased with.

My system isn't fully set up, but i've played w/ my 120mm fans using this, and it is fantastic! No problems, and the thermal sensors will be a huge help while OC'ing :cool: The fans can go from full blast to 0rpm, you can set temperature alerts, it can control 4 fans(can do more than per lead, depends on how many watts/amps your fans need), and it looks pretty lol


I bought retail version here (http://svcompucycle.stores.yahoo.net/ald-v03-us.html) at SVC for $8!!!!
I've never bought from svc, but i was really pleased, cheap price, shipped promptly, no muss no fuss, and package was packed well.

Here's CM's site (http://www.coolermaster.com/index.php?LT=english&Language_s=2&url_place=product&p_serial=ALD-V03&other_title=0) FMI

I have the Aerogate 3. Love it. For $8, it's an obscene price !

I also have a Vantec Nexus, which I will sell soon.

I saw this one while doing my own research it looks ok. But because im on a budget and its only $8.00 im sold. I just picked that up along with a Scythe Ninja.
