Default Do I have to use the fan controller on the NUUO?

Ok, I've got my pc in pieces...putting it together. I bought a sunbeam nuuo, and what I'm wondering is if you have to put the fan controller in, or can you leave it out?

I'm thinking that the fan controller is optional, but I thought I'd make sure.

Err I'm guessing the fan controller is a smaller piece with wires running to the PSU? If you want to control it then well YEAH! I like to control my fans for the simple fact that when I'm just surfing the web I can turn them down and they become VERY quiet.

According to this page http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/...O/nuuo-550.htm
Quote:
"*When NUUO is not connected to the controller, the fans will be temperature regulated and operate automatically to cool down the PSU."

Its optional but if you have the room it will be good to have it installed to readily change the fan speeds.
