+1 for this controller. I was wary about it at first but has outlasted every controller I have ever owned. ONE COMPLAINT that you will hear alot about this particular controller is the LED's on the front are bright enought to light a airport landing strip. I just dislodged them from the front bezel and folded to face downward toward the inside of teh controller . VOILA proplem solved.

Or if you need to control more fans, you can get the Rheobus Extreme. That is the one I have, and I can control 2 fans per channel (120mm) plus my cathodes. It is quite bright, but it can handle almost any fan (or fans) you can connect to it.

I also have the extreme...take one of those small Hex tools (you know the L shaped ones) and use it as a hook to grab the little LEDs and bend them about 45 degrees upward and it dims them perfectly.

Bend more for more dim, added benefit it lights up the inside of your case the more you bend. Bending it is better then clipping or removing so you can bend them back when you have friends over during LAN parties to blind them into submission.

I also have a Sunbeam Rheobus and it has worked well for me. As Capwn said, though, the LEDs are very bright and might be distracting in the initial state. I put some clear nail polish on the LEDs and it helped quite a bit, I never see them in my peripheral vision anymore.
