Fan controller help?

Forum Homebuilt Systems : Homebuilt Fan controller help?

Word :    Username :           
 

Okay so my NZXT Sentry 2 recently caught fire.... (Luckily the cheaply made cords didn't take anything with them.)



Anyways... I now find myself in a strange predicament. I need a new fan controller, but am not willing to just venture off without some advice and try to get one to fit my needs.


So here's what I need,

A fan controller that can support 6 or more 120m LED fans. And perhaps 2 more 120m LED's + 2 140m LED's...


Not sure if that's feasible or possible... But yeah. I need it to fit in my drive bay, and would love to have a full range of controller over the fans hooked up to it. Another LCD style display would be a plus, but really after that near catastrophic failure of my last one... Well I'm willing to have anything that's unlikely to die on me for a while.

Also what is one to look for in fan controllers? How many watts should it support? Could my last fire have had something to do with plugging 6 fans into the controller? (2 of them were on the last channel's connector.)


Thanks,

Noid
