Default How do i.....

I want to use an empty dvd drive port to create something that can tell me how hot my computer is and has switches to where i can manually turn on fans.

I have a coolermaster 690

I currently dont have anything in the case. I wanna do all the modding before i actualy put crap in.

Id like to choose how many fans i want to use. So that way when it wont wake me up at night when its idle with maybe only 2 fans on but id like to be able to turn all 4 on when im up late at night playing games.

btw i plany to use a quad core....even though i dont need it id like to get it so it wont be outdated very fast.

ill run a 4850 and probably a corsair 650watt power supply(dont need that much but its on sale)

1 HDD and 1 dvd drive and probably 4 gigs of ram with windows vista.

Im new to the whole PC building game

I got the Sunbeam one for 14 dollars, just what I needed, and you can run more than 4 fans if you want to with it. You would just need to get some more connectors
