Zalman makes nice controllers, but you may want to take a look at Lamptron.

Then there is also the Rheobus.

Imho the fit and finish of the Lamptrons are better than the Rheobus.

Dunno about that, but I have heard that the Sunbeam Rheobus is pretty good. Placed an order for one on Newegg, should get here tomorrow.

They also have the Extreme Version. Black or Sliver

The Lamptron FC-2 is a good option.



And yeah... the Rheobus Extreme is a great controller.

I'll second the recommendation for the Rheobus Extreme. That thing will handle damn near any fan or combination of fans you can throw at it.

One word of warning though, when placed in the "full on" position, the LED's on it are BRIGHT! Like...seriously...

The pic on Newegg doesn't do it justice.

Imagine staring directly at the sun from a distance of about 12 feet, then double however bright you think that might be. That'll get you close to the reality of how bright this thing is.

I like the regular Rheobus, because it is super easy to switch out the leds if you want them to match the color scheme of your case.

I'm not trying to lean toward the Lamptron, but it does have 45W/channel.

...okay, okay... maybe I am just a tad.


note that I do have a Rheobus Extreme and I love it too!

Can you more clearly define, "high-end"?

Maybe you had something like these in mind, they are touch screen fan controllers:

Or the Lamptron FC-5 (30w/channel) if you can find it in stock anywhere.

The ones Syrillian mentioned are fancy but they are terrible wattage per channel 6 or 7 respectively.
