Many questions I would like answered since I'm a noob at building.
-For my case fans, what kind of multi-fan controllers do you recommend? I'm unfamiliar with brands and that sort. I'm getting 4 scythe "Slipstream" 120mm fans.
-Also, how many ports for fans would my mobo have?
-Should I even get a multi fan controller?
-Will the multi-fan gpu block the front door with the knobs? I'm using a Cooler Master Stacker 830 Evolution. If I get a fan controller like the one below will the case door get blocked? Or will it fit?
Will this fan controller block the front door:

I guess my question is too noob. Quite sorry but I really need to know.

- I don't care about brands as long as it doesn't cost an arm & it uses dials instead of buttons for adjusting speeds/temps.

- If you want to control your fan speed on the fly w/o opening up the case or booting to BIOS, you want a fan controller at arm's length. Also, you can migrate the controller to another pc or setup. No restrictions.

I know zalman have a few, one is really niice. Can't give you a direct link atm, so www.Zalman.Co.Kr or just google zalman fan controller. The details are on their site

Alright I found out that the knobs on the controller I posted will not block the front door of the stacker. But it seems flimsy...anyone have it or have any recommendations?
Anyone know how many fans I can control with the mobo?

this is the most expensive fan controller i know and i own. its very solid in terms of build quality and the screen is nice and bright.

Should I even get a fan controller...?

well yes if you gonna fit all the fan to your stacker.

What do you think about the one I posted before?

this one looks good as well

the zalman w/ the l;cd is what I used in my last build it is nice, But i would not recommend it as the viewing angle of the lcd is horrible if u are not looking directly at the screen u cannot discern what numbers ur's rpm's are at, the temps, or any other numbers...they should have used a different approach really.

I decided to use the more subtle zalman zmc1 i think its called with the brushed aluminum black faca plate with the knobs, in my opinion is much much better, even though you cannot see the rpms and temps, as far as fan control goes there really is no more convenient and efficient way to go about it, and with such style as well!
