Good fan controller?

Can anybody recommend a good fan controller?
I am looking for one to control 4-5 fans and displays the temp (in C) on the front.

Thanks

Bitfenix is great, and it's internet based (despite probably never using that feature!)

Why would you want to do that if your sitting next to the machine?

Hmm, it may come in use to me. I plan on connecting my PC to my TV and gaming with a controller with certain games (rpg's just seem awkward with M&kB)

At least then I can change fan speed without getting up, because God forbid I get up!

I have bought the recon. I like having an LED screen so I can easily see the temp.

Thanks everyone.

Installed the Bitfenix Recon over the weekend and added 3 extra fans (to make 4, not inc psu fan)

The recon looks great in my shinobi case, blue LED background - would be so much nicer if this could be changed to orange to fit my build, but hey ho.

Controls 5 fans very well and silently.

It had a usb mobo connector, but there are no usb ports on the front - so not quite sure what thats for just yet.

Ive got the Recon but i never use the LCD. Download Phoebetria is superb software to control it. can create customer temperature profiles

I've got the controller set to auto at the moment, seems to be doing a good job.

the only problem I found was the tape that came with the temperature sensors wern't very stick, so kept making the sensors fall off, ended up putting about 3 stickers on each.
