I'd really like a fan controller/system monitor - but i'd also like to build it myself. Thing is im not the biggest brain when it comes to electronics. Basically i'd like to put it in a 5.25" bay - like a CM musketeer (will prolly use an old cd rom as a chasis), use a vfd/lcd for monitoring (serial or usb interface?) and be able to control the voltage of 2 or 3 fans using either software or pots on the front of this contraption or maybe even a couple of buttons that would access a menu - sounds like pure fantasy?? Any tips would be great - i.e. where do i start with some sort of pcb etc - does maplin make some sort of kit that could form a base? Well - i'm hoping this isnt pure pie in the sky becausei reckon this could make a nice little modding project![]()

I've just no idea of how to begin i.e. what can i use to integrate the lcd/vfd and a fan controller type of thing. And then how can i go about using push switches (e.g. up/down/enter) to control a display - or is this far too complex?
