    Fan controller options

    I am currently looking at getting a fan controller for my TJ07 to control 4 different fan zones.
    The problem is I like the clean cut front of the TJ07 and do not really want any brash LCD screens or dials on the front of the case.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a good subtle controller, or an device that means i could recess a controller behind a hinged aluminium panel, or even a tidy 4way controller that doesnt have to be front mounted.

    Thanks in advance

    Re: Fan controller options

    If you don't need much control, Asus Q-Fan should give you 2 zones on top of the CPU, and you can just get some 3pin splitters to control all the fans.

    Or you can use a few of these:

    HTPC: AMD Athlon X4 620 @ 2.6Ghz / 780G / 4GB DDR2-1000 / Antec Mini P180 White
    Mobile Workstation: Intel C2D T8300 @ 2.4Ghz / GM965 / 3GB DDR2-667 / DELL Inspiron 1525 / 6+6+9 Cell Battery

    Thanks for the suggestion,
    I already have several of the PCI case slot fan controllers, and they work well, i was hoping someone had come up with an ingenious solution that meant i could move away from using several of these, even to one slot with several fan controls on.

    Wouldn't the 3-way splitters that arthurleung mentioned help at all? If not I fear you may have to do some modding, or just run the fanmates cables out the back and stick them on the back of the case. A bit ghetto though...
