Temp sensor/Fan control

Hey guys, first off thanks to everyone that chimed in on my vista question the other day now for part two!

The case I'm getting has alot of fans in it, and reviewed as being rather loud, so I'm looking to get a fan controller/temp sensor it. Can anyone suggest something that works well and quite honestly looks decent? I've been all over xoxide, tiger, and newegg and the reviews are all so mixed that I don't know what to get...

any ideas would be much appreciated

So, are you looking for something that automatically controls fan speed, or just a series of pots, where you can do it manually?

Also, what case and how many fans do you want to control?

This is the case I was looking at and going to run the stock fans and add an intake in the front grill so that would be 5 fans total but the back exhaust I would imagine should always run its the extras causing noise that i'm worried about

And I would prefer something that both lets me see the temps and pots to control the fans..

eh I'm new to this and a moron so I again apologize for the stupid questions!

Well, if you only need to control four fans, this should be fairly straightforward. Keep in mind that the fans will, with most of these controllers, have to be the 3-pin connector type that goes into your motherboard as opposed to the Molex-type plugs that go directly into your power supply.

Here's a few to take a look at:
AeroCool GW101
Sythe Kaze Master
Xion MTR001B

Thanks much! I'm going to be checking with xoxide on the fans in the case to be sure I'm able to use the Kaze master. of all looks most like what I'm looking for

THanks again!

Sorry I didn't get back to this yesterday.

Here's one that will monitor and control 5 fans. They're out of stock for this place, but you could likely find one somewhere else.

Also the same store has probably one of the larger selections for controllers and monitors. A little expensive, but I've never had an issue with anything I bought here.

AH thanks much...

And I forgot to mention I'm also a huge rush fan, have your icon tattooed on my arm!
