So i am getting the HAF 932...which has a ton of fans (with the possibility of a lot more) and my motherboard for it is the Gigabyte EP45-UD3R Mobo. Which tiger direct shows as having
Fan Connectors: 1 x CPU
2 x Chassis

Im assuming that means it only have 2 slots for fans..aka i can only hook up 2 fans. Whats the best way to have more connectors for a lot more fans?
 
Run them full speed off the ps or get a fan controller.

Anyone have any recommendations for a fan controller? (keep it mind my case lights are red so if it has LED's, red would be best) Thanks

I have had shit luck with fan controllers they all seem to be poor quality because they have to sell for so cheap.
 
Maybe i should just go with the cable splitter(s) idea. It would be so smart of CoolMaster if the case (haf 932) came with at least one fan cable splitter....but i doubt it.

I know lots of people here have a HAF 932...what do you guys do about dust and hooking up the minimum 4 fans the 932 uses? (assuming you dont have enough mobo fan connectors)
 
As above, after I use up all the MB fan connectors, I just use the molex to fan connectors and run them full speed from the PSU. As for dust, my house is a dust bowl, I have a small air blower which I use about every 2 weeks or so to clear the dust out of everything.
 
I have a Scythe Kamameter - Choice of SIX display colours (Inc red, doh) and comes with black, off-white and ?silver? bezels.

4 temps (Includes sensors on 400mm+ wires

4-way fan control (Could split to eight but I assume voltage/speed would halve but that's not a bad thing for noise)

Volume control

I REALLY like it
(Would like to see all 4 temps shown at once rather than having to turn the dial to check each one (Display shows one temp, one fan speed and volume level at same time)
