I want a fan controller that can be externally controlled, however, I don't have any 5.25" bay slots in my case. I need a current rating -- per channel -- greater than approximately 0.54A or 6.5W. I've been searching forever and after my research I believe that a PCI fan controller would be the best available option.
I found this silverstone FP33 fan controller: http://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-FP33B-Expansion-Independent-Controllers/dp/B001NPEBI8. It comes with a PCI bracket. The problem is that it only has 0.4A per channel!
The only fan controller I found that supports multiple channels is this ratchet one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PC-4-Channel-3-Pin-3pin-PCI-Cooling-Fan-Speed-Controller-Support-Turn-OFF-Fan-/171904985525?hash=item280655e9b5:g:AAoAAOSwwbdWM3AF. It's completely unbranded and from China or Hong Kong. Allegedly it supports up to 2A per channel! If it actually functions and doesn't break on me this would be great.
Has anyone seen or used this fan controller?
