the aerogate III

it just has buttons and no knobs.. so that should help with your problem
it has temps, fan control, rpm monitoring etc

just google that out and youll get plenty of reviews

hope it helps

I have the Vantec Nexus NXP-305 fan controller and it fits in the P180 and still allows the door to close properly. It works great, allows you to turn the voltage of the fan all the way off if you want. It also has a controller for a light, but I don't use that function. There's a 205 model, but it only allows you to turn the fan voltage down to 7v. They both fit in the 3.5 inch bay though.

there is a 3 knob controller that fits into a floppy drive bay. im hoping that case has 2 slots of course. I use it instead of the beautifully nifty zalman on my antec now due to the not-fitting issue. I buy mine from Directron, they come in silver and black. nice paint jobs on both, plus, it has 2 2.0 USB ports on it if you want extra. (which I do sometimes as antec normally gives only 2)


It cannot go to lowest voltage, it misses it by about 1 volt, maybe a 3/4 of one it seems. it claims it cant go down to 5 volts exactly. strange lil thing, but the variability on it is excellent per movement.

it has no name so just look for it on there.
