either a good electronic one or just a plain jane knob style, it doesnt matter.
i cant find anything i like, and i've been looking for a couple weeks now:( - it doesnt have to have bells and whistles and thermal readings of this and that but if there's one out there that kicks ass then i'll check it out
or a fan controller/card reader combo, that would work also
thanks mates:up:

Zalman MFC-1, comes in silver or black:

Zalman MFC-2, only one variant, bit prettier but also more expensive:

Also if you need just to control one fan, you can check Zalman Fan Mate:

well the MFC-1+ lets you control 6 fans but has no temp diodes while the MFC-2 has the real-time display of power consumption & temp diodes but controls only 4-5 fans.
how about the Scythe Kaze Master (http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/028/km01_detail.html) or Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme (http://www.sunbeamtech.com/index-2.html)?

i have an NZXT Sentry in my case because it was cheap and i liked the way it looks. i never actually hooked it up to any fans though. i just wanted something blue and nice looking to fill my top 5.25 bay.

I use the Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme and love it because it can rock out the most watts.
and i also use the Scythe
"KAMA-METER" Multi Functional Controller for some gpu fan speeds and i also have it hooked up to my pumps so if it stops the alarm goes off....

Hmmm......still not having any luck :(
whenever i find something i like there's always a deal killer with them, from needing a certain amount of voltage for the fans to turn on upon bootup to only being able to control limited wattages on fans...
i have an old vantec black 4 channel controller that i have in one rig and its the mutts nuts and its perfect, but when i look for another one do they still make them, no they dont....:upset::cussing:
i'm at a loss, i cant find anything as simple as that vantec or works similarly :(

At friday i bought the Scythe KM01-SL-5.25 Kaze Master, man I'm amazed , it can even regulate noctuas , which i couldn't regulate even with zalmans , it slowed down and stopped , this works like a charm. And it looks nice. I'm maybe missing the W/h display but it wasn't exactly accurate.
