Default Antec 900 question
Sorry...I'm a little clueless.

How do you control the fan speed for the case fans? Does it come with a fan controller?

each of the four fans has its own 3-speed fan controller that hangs about 6-8 inches from the fan. You'll have to open the case to change the speed. BTW, the 200 mm fan on top has a max speed of 800 rpm... so it's very quiet.

I'm probably just gonna run the fans on low most of the time...but if I'm running Supreme Commander I'm gonna want to turn them up...**** opening the case.

Would a fan controller like this work for the 6 case fans (200mm at the top, 120mms: 2 on front, 1 on back, 1 on window, 1 on back of HDD case).

Default This thing is like a Windtunnel even on low.
Low speed still has great air flow... This case droped my temps by 8C.

My Seasonic M12 500 Work terrific as I don't need to have extra cable I don't use in the case. I've never turned em passed Low you could adjust the airflow and Noise by using a combination of speeds on the 4 different fans.

The fans are all 4 pin, but you can find some 3 pin converters.

You really don't need it turned all the way up. I keep all of the 120s on low and the 200mm on high and its fine. The fan speed difference is negligible.

Thanks...I'll probably just do that.

What kind of case temperatures do you have?

Damn near ambient. It doesn't really matter anyway, since my system is totally different from yours and your temperature depends on the ambient temperature of the room...

Just to say again, this case is very quite. I run all my fans on low, and it keeps my OCd C2D at 35C MAX load... very quite, very cool.
