Fan controller question

[Waffles730]

Ok, so. I have spent the last two days browsing for a fan controller that I like. I wanted a small one to fit in the 3.5" bay because all the 5.25" are taken up by two optical drives and my front connectors I fit there.

I kinda liked the Coolermaster Cool Drive 4 (same as the Aerocool II I believe?), but it's a 5.25 and doesn't have USB and firewire built into the front, which I would want.

And then I saw the Vantec Silver Nexus NXP-205 Rheobus I really like this one, just because it's so simple and fits in the 3.5". The problem now is that I don't know if the knobs will fit in the door of my Coolermaster Wavemaster case.

So the point of all this is to ask if anyone has this controller where they could measure how far the knobs stick out from the face of the controller, or if anyone knows of another simple, clean looking controller I might like.

Thanks for the help!

how about the LIAN-LI TR-3A?

Thanks very much. Doesn't look like it's going to work out for me though. There's only a little over a quarter inch of clearance at the closest part of the door on the wavemaster.

The Lian-Li TR-3A was also another one on my list that I stumbled across, and I think that it is going to be the way I go. I really would like to keep my front ports, so that means either a nice 5.25" controller I like or the 3.5" and the TR-3A looks pretty good. Thanks
