I was wondering what the best fan controller would be for the Antec 900 case that would fit into a 5.25" bay. I have the 4 stock Antec fans which are 4 pin molex and a Zalman 9500 Heatsink. The stock fans each have there own speed controller, but i want to set it up so i can control them all with a fan controller. Do i need to get adapters for all the fans?

This is what i was thinking...

Scythe Fan Controller
Scythe KM01-BK "KAZE MASTER" 5.25" Bay Fan Control...

4-Pin Molex to 3-Pin Fan Power Adapter Cable

Also If i get the 3 pin adapters for the 4 pin molex fans will i be able to control the rpms on the fan controller??

no you cant get fan control from a molex since they only have red&black wires for power. youre gonna have to try getting the yellow wire out of the 3speed switch from the fan and do some mods

Is there any fan controllers with display that would work with my case without modding??

So i took apart the switch and as you can see it has its own black, red and yellow wires. So do i just need the yellow wire?
