I got 3.5 inch bay controller and mounted it hidden inside my stacker. So now all I see is a DVD drive with a Aluminum cover, it looks sweet(I should take some pictures). I hooked up 4led 70mm fans to a single controller(vantec) and it works fine on one channel. I have another 120mm and 2 more 80mm on the same channel. The last third channel has 2 70mm fans and a single 92mm. There is no limit to how many fans(realatively) as long as you stay under the amp limit.

Scythe Sflex look nice. would 8 of em be overkill?

and should i get all 800rpm,1200rpm, 1600rpm or a mixture of em?

sry for the dumb questions >.< still new to this
