Default Best fan controller?

I am thinking of getting a fan controller for my pwn fan with 4 pin. I saw many fan controller doesn't support that. Do you guys know any good ones that does support both 3 pin and 4 pin fans? I am looking at Zalman ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller. Has anyone tried that before?

I have a NZXT Sentry 2 Touch screen $30 it supports 3 pins but not four.
All the NZXT fan controllers are this way.

You could just get a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter (Or a 4 pin to 3 pin adapter) for your 4 pin fan assuming you only have 1, Then pick any controller you want.

Adapter is like 2 bucks then shipping though you may find cheaper on the net.

Good luck

I'm assuming by "4 pin" fans he means PWM fans, which requires more than just an adapter.
