Question about Baybus, DigiDoc5, ect...

[ZeRoSKiLL]

I have this case and I need to get case fans for it. I can fit 3 80mm's in front, 2 in the back, and a 120mm above the power supply. Problem is, I want to be able to control these fans so I can turn them off at night and turn them on when I'm gaming.

I was looking at the Baybus but I don't think I'll be able to close the door w/ that installed. I also looked at the DigiDoc5. It supports 8 fans according to the reviews. Can I use this to turn my fans on and off?? I'm not interested in using the temperature sensors to activate the fans when it hits a certain temp. I just want the switches. Will this work??

Are there any baybuses that use different type of switches (like the one on the back of the power supply)???

There was a big thread on this, with the same issue of trying to fit a Rheobus (the one at pcmods.com, here), or a Baybus into a Antec/Chenming/Chieftec case with a door. Their verdict was that that particular product would not fit. The Baybus is a possibility, since there is actually a fair amount of space behind the door if you mount the panel in one of the lower bays. My recommendation? Buy a Baybus and if it doesn't fit, just take off the door, or suffer the extra noise of unabated fans. Oh, and with the Rheobus, you can adjust the fan speed incrementally, so finding the balance between noise and heat is much easier and more exact.

Skill I have a digidoc. It lets you turn on the fans on with a push of a button or turn any one off that you want. The only thing a digidoc wont do is let you change how fast the fans spin. Its a very neat little toy and i like it. If you have any more questions about it PM me.

the baybus at pcmods.com (which is also at newegg) will fit

Thanks guys. I'll probably go with the DigiDoc5. I don't really need a Rheobus, simple on and off will do for me.

Now I'll just have to change the backlight from red/orange to a cool blue. Saw a mod on this on some website.
