I'm thinking of building a fan controller for my Rocketfish and was wondering what would be the best. I've got a decent amount of circuit building experience, but I don't know a whole lot of theory.
I've seen schematics for PWM controllers like here at Bit-Tech, but I don't know how well they work. Looks like it would be pretty cheap and also easy to fit 4 of them behind 1 5.25" bay cover. I would only be running 120mm fans (D12SL-12's) so I assume I'd have plenty of amperage overhead.
Lastly, does anyone know a good source for cheap knobs? They're super expensive almost eveywhere (which doesn't seem to make sense). I've seen em on digikey and mouser but most are $2-3 a piece or more if you go with aluminum.
