Looking for some advice on some decent fans for a Obsidian 800D.

I would like to be able to control them for optimal performance so don't mind a bit of noise, then be able to reduce the noise when working and not gaming. I really know nothing about Fan controllers and how to get the best out of them. I have seen people refer to PWM's? I presume this is some form of converter or cable that allows the management of current by the fan controller?

Basically replacing the stock fans on the case. I want some advice on 3 x 120mm fans for exhausting and 2 x 140mm fans for intake. The intakes must be able to pull a fair amount of air into the case. I would like some white LED fans but I would prefer function over form so not essential. Is it possible to get decent fans which are LED?

A good quality fan controller but nothing over the top but whatever people recommend. Like I say I have no experience in using them and this will be my first so any advice will be much appreciated. I guess something for 30-40 quid. Price of fans not important (as long as they are under 20 notes each that is), I prefer quality over some cheaper stuff that might not be up to the job.

Big thanks

thanks for the advice 95th and Nick, will take a look at those fans. Do the Akasa Apachie come with one of those control switches on them (Med/High speed setting)? If so would using a Fan Controller override this? or do they do an OEM version which is just a fan?

Will take a mosey at the fan controllers too.

Cheers
