    Fan Controller choice?

    Whats eveyones opinions on these two fan controllers?

    Akasa AK FC-03 Fan Controller Pro
    Coolermaster Aerogate 2 Fan Controller

    I am thinking of using one of them in my new project, a water cooled aluminium Coolermaster. Which one would best match the Aluminium case? I'm not really interested in building my own fan controler, I just want somthing to adjust the speed of 2 Akasa 80mm blue LED fans and a 120mm Akasa blue LED fan. It really needs to blend in with the case. I was hoping for somthing that didnt have the nobs jutting out to far. I wanted to go for a smooth looking front on my case, but it seems these are about the best options at the moment. Unless you know of somthing better?
    System Specs - OCZ Modstream 520W, P5B Deluxe, 4Gb OCZ 6400, E6600@ 3.6Ghz, Audigy sound card, XFX 8800GTS XXX 640mb graphics card.

    Don't listen to any of them yan816.

    Go for the Akasa Fan Controller Pro. It's an awesome product

    I reviewed it a couple of days ago -- http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews...lld19JRD02NTg=

    you can get a similar controller to the vantec in maplin, but cheaper.. i think it's around £13 or so.. it has changeable faceplate..

    the aerogate 1 looks pimp... i wish coolermaster makes one in black!

    i have the nexus 205, but at low settings the controller buzzes a bit..

    I got the Akasa AK FC-03 Fan Controller Pro myself, excellent bit of kit. One of it's best features is that it comes with front plates in just about every colour under the sun. So it should look good in just about any case.

    AEROGATE!

    And what the hell is wrong with the aerogate 2, nothing i say, nothing.

    It looks a lot better than any other fan controller, sure it might take a lil while to get everything up and running due to the fact they dont label the wires, but who cares.

    Go with the aergogate!
