Low profile fan controller

Skidder · 19 May 2008 at 12:02

Hello, I'm looking for a 5.25 bay mounted fan controller that can fit behind the door of my cosmos 1000. One of the (several) bad features of the case is the fact that there is almost no gap between the front of things installed in the drive bays and the door.

So I know most fan controllers with big dials on them wont work. Anyone know of one that is pretty flat, perhaps with buttons to turn fans up and down. There's may be 3mm to 4mm room. Thanks for any suggestions.

From a very quick look the Akasa All-In-One looks like it might be your best option on here. Alternatively could you not just recess a standard one? It won't look as neat but if it is hidden behind the door anyway....

That looks fairly low profile, the edges look a little curved though.

I had a similar problem and ended up getting a fan controller with big dials anyway, it just sits a little further in the case to allow the door to close. Not so pretty but still effective.

Edit: beaten to it.

thanks both, will check that one out. I think flush is better for the mechanism the case uses to lock 5.25 devices into place and (almost) the only good thing about the case is how nice it looks
