    That first one doesn't look too bad if you can put up with glowing knobs
    the 2nd looks like a cheap copy of the Akasa fan controller (still it's a good controller and make use of a motherboard usb header)

    Gotta admit the Scythe Kaze master does look very cool. Now if only it came in silver to match my case (am I the only person who buys silver cases?)

    No you're not! Mines silver with an Akasa Fan Control Pro.

    They aren't quite the dials I had in mind. What i'm looking for is more like this:

    or this:


    Think a speedo on a car dashboard.

    There are some beautiful controllers there though, might have to upgrade, if I can convince my husband its neccessary!

    Re: Fan controller with analogue dials

    Ahh you're talking about an analog temperature display dial

    there's the old coolermaster but it's more of a hdd cooler
    http://ixbtlabs.com/articles2/power/cm_cooldrive5.html

    Re: Fan controller with analogue dials

    Yeah, thats the stuff. The cooldrive 5 is very nice indeed, but we might go with the idea of making one. Looks simple enough from what i've seen.

    Thanks

    Re: Fan controller with analogue dials

    If it's of any use to anyone, I've been using a Sunbeam fan controller for a number of years without any problems. I'd recommend it to anyone who might be after an understated but functional controller
    -- AMD dual core 5000 CPU -- GeForce 7050M mobo -- 2 x 2Gb Kingston DDR2 PC5200 memory -- Winpower ATX650L PSU -- ### -- Sunbeam 4 way Rheobus with red/blue LEDs -- ...in the process of being updated April 2012
