Hi

I have an antec 300 and using the pre-installed case fans. I ahve fitted 2 4pin/pwm fans to the front. These:

Trouble is I had to change the mobo and my new one doesn't have enough headers and basically would like to run them myself. They are currently completely off.

After a basic controller that accepts two of these and would fit in a cd size bay?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Literally just want to be able to controller the two fans, together or seperate for when gaming/non-gaming etc

Link's broken.

Zalman ZM-MFC3? Over £30 though.

Lamptron make some good quality basic looking controllers. The kind of thing you might be after or maybe the Zalman ZM-MFC1

I like the look of that zalman. Most seem to take 3 pin fans. Is it a case I just plug the 4 pin fan in leaving a pin spare on the pwm if you know what I'm trying to say?

There is the Xigmatek one that controls 3 fans with one dial.

Which model of Xigmatek is it and can I use a pwm fan on a controller which says 3 pin fans only?

Something like the Scythe Kaze Master 3.5inch Fan Controller, but larger and in black would be ideal.

Says it can control up to 4 3/4 pin fans. Mmmm

Leaning towards a nxt sentry 2..... does anyone know if I can control the fans together ie lower both fans same time or do I have to do each one individually? or both?
