And now for something completely different… a non-rant post O_O

My desktop PC’s case is a Thermaltake Xaser VI MX which, while it looks pretty and is nice to work with, does not have the quietest fans. The most recent Atomic magazine has woken me up to the multitude of cheap fan controllers, and because more (preferably LED-lighted) cooling fans would relatively inexpensive (and hassle and power-tool-free) way to add more orsm to my case. This will also inevitably add noise as the vibrations are tranferred to the case (rubber mounts are an option but do not completely eliminate noise and are more money to spend). In addition, I don’t really need my hard disks running below room temperature except on hot days (like the ridiculous 45+ degree days we’ve had this summer) so a fan-controller could be a good addition.
