Default Fan in back of case long enough wire to get to Fan controller?

Im going to buy a Sunbeam Transformer and im going to replace all of the stock fans.

Theres 1 fan in the rear (exhasut) 2 on the side(intake) 1 on top(exhaust) and 1 in front(intake).

How am i supposed to get the wire all the way from the back of the case to my fan controller in front?

Do the fan controllers come with extension-cables?

you cant worry about noise too much, if its noisy it probably means its moving lots of air and doing a reasonable job, the only way to reduce noise really is by getting a diffeent type of fan but its not really practical, id be leaving the stock fans installed and just putting the front fan in.

I just build a rig in the case for my friend. The stock fans are very noisy at full, but with a fan controller, that problem should be fixed. The cords from the fans included aren't very long, so I don't know how you're going to work the fan controller, just thought I'd give me input on the noise. It's a nice looking case though, enjoy it.

Yes, fan controllers usually ship with extensions.
