Fan Speed Controller

[0m3g4]

Quick Question,
(This is PC Cooling related, right?)

Anyways, I've noticed some people have Fan Controllers mounted in a bay. Where could I purchase one of those? They look pretty nice, and from what I've read, they're actually very handy to have.

if simple is your style, i would recommend that one. also check out http://www.frozencpu.com they have loads of fan controllers for pretty much any style you want. if you see something you like there you might want to google the model name because sometimes other places have the same thing for cheaper. also check out xoxide.com

Andy is right. FrozenCPU (http://www.frozencpu.com), Xoxide (http://www.xoxide.com), and I believe Newegg (http://www.newegg.com) even has some. Directron (http://www.directron.com) does as well. Also, if you have a space drive bay cover, you can make a custom one. All depends on taste.

Custom? Yeah, I have the bay covers. :eek:

Hmmm, maybe I'll do that. Any specific guides anywhere? I've looked around and I can't seem to find any. :think:

Strange, I noticed the lack of guides as well. Here's the best I could find (http://www.metku.net/index.html?path=mods/baybus/index_eng). If you want speed control too, ask around on the forums and I'm sure someone can help you. Hell, I could probably help with that if I got some reading done.

Woah. That's actually a good guide! :up:

Speed control would be good though, too. Anyone know how? :think:
I'll try to look around for some more guides too.

Edit:

Guides I found -
1st Guide (http://www.gideontech.com/content/articles/213/1)

I made one a long time ago on another site... linky... (http://www.vibecomputers.com/forum/viewtopic.cfm?tid=9913)

Hmm. Interesting. The diagram at the very top isn't showing up. :(

Ah ha! Gideontech, that's where the guide was! I knew I had seen a guide for a variable speed controller, I just couldn't remember where.

Here is one I have that I bought from NewEgg. http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7211&highlight=zalman+fan

I'll most likely just buy one. They're not too pricey, and newegg is reliable. :up:
