Ok so worst case scenario here is 15 (one being cpu) fans, if I choose to mount two on the top which I'm likely to do unless I go for an enclosed water cooling system thingy.

Otherwise it'd be 12fans.

What would your suggestion be (fan controller wise) for this? Preferably bay mounted but could internally mount it at the bottom of the case.

Also, I assume the best way once a fan controller is in.. set all the switches on the fans to high and let the controller go from there, as essentially the switch is just a resistor right?

Edit: Absolute fail on the title then the total fans inside apologies for the title! :>

Yeah a while ago I was looking at the touch version as I didnt want twistys but now I'm not bothered and think I'd probably prefer it. I heard the touch version was quite unresponsive.

I think if I get a controller it needs a minimum of 4 controllers:

1) CPU + Exhaust/Intake (actually not sure which way its going!)
2) 4 Fans on the door/side (2 over the CPU/Ram, 2 over the GPU) - In a square
3) 6 Fans over the HDD (3 on the front side, 3 on the opposite side) - down the right hand side as you look at the picture
4) 2 Front fans

I think each fan probably averages about 5w (from what I can gather from googles).

How would you guys configure yours?
 
ive got the lamptron fc2 and it does its job.

i would join the fans together and solder ot get some 3 pin fan splitters.

i would have the

4 at the back/side on one channel
3 at the front/side on another
2/3 at the front on another

then you still got 3 more for the cpu and on the top or where ever else
