Anyone here have a phantom NZXT case? I need to redo the cables on mine. And are modular power supine that much than non modular for cable management?
I used to have one. However, I'd suggest you read the original (first) post of this thread, specifically point 3:
- This thread is not intended as a "fast question - fast answer" thread; if you want to know what kind of computer + peripherals you can get with a given budget, ask in the "Computer Build / Upgrade Help" sub-forum. Creating a new thread there is greatly encouraged.
I thought about that route but I have all my 5.25" bays filled (Dual bay res, BD/DVD burner, Fan Controller).
I can't recommend buying this fan controller. The display doesn't work half the time. Either it will display nothing or it will display all zeros. The separate fan control lanes can only handle 1 fan at max speed. 2+ fans cause it to lose about 10-15% of the fans rated speed. Aqua Computer Aquaero 5 Pro will be my next buy.

I find all those LCD-based fan controllers a bit...well, delicate and gimmicky. Who knows what could happen if the LCD goes nuts.
The the volume-knob style controllers make the most sense to me, they have a much better "feel" and you can change individual fan speeds without even looking at it, no fumbling with buttons/displays.
Like the Lian-Li one:
Temperature monitoring should be done from the desktop IMO, seems a bit silly to have to look at the front of your PC for temp readings.

Well the Scythe Kaze has the knobs so it works regardless if the screen isn't working. The temp gauges on the controller monitor air and water temps. I monitor the hardware temps from the desktop.
That's what I love about computers, everyone can customize it to however fits them the best.

Personally I would go with a Lamptron FC5v2 or FC6 if I were to get a proper fan controller.

Beautiful.
I'm wondering, can it play 1080p movies? Then I wouldn't have to pay $100 for an Ouya :P

Regarding the fan controllers folks are talking about here... what's the big advantage to them, simply the ability to use more fans than your mobo has connectors for?
