Fan controller recommendations

Hi guys, my fan controller is annoying me so I am looking into a new one.
Currently have an 8 channel nesteq fanmax which is average at best.

I want something to control 8 if not 9 fans (have push/pull over cpu which 1 is controlled from mobo and 1 from controller) Don't all have to be seperately controlled, a 4 channel and daisychain would be fine

Must be reasonably low profile from the front as I have a toddler who sees all 8 turny knobs at the moment and loves tweaking them.

Was looking at bitfenix hydra but not sure on its capabilities of multiple fans on one channel.

Please can you help me out?

Thanks

Whats your budget ?

If you have a little one who likes to play with daddy's pc then i would recommend this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-000-NX&groupid=701&catid=2331&subcat=

Thanks for the quick reply, budget up to about £50-70
**should have mentioned, ideally 5.25 fitting

If you're happy to daisy chain, I'd suggest a Lamptron FC5 V2, but lights/twiddly knobs + toddler may not be ideal

If you want a 5.25 fitting the little one will play with it regardless.

the one i showed you sits on the desk and out of reach of little fingers.
