[SOLVED] Fans in the Corsair 4000D

EDIT: Disregard, as I think I'm going to pass on this, given that I finally managed to find a review (my Google-fu is improving slightly) and cooling on this, along with the limited USB ports on the front, would be potential problems, even for a budget case.



Well, since NewEgg's got a deal on it, and it was reviewed fairly well (at leas the airflow version), I'm considering getting the case for maybe secondary build.

But, I'm a little confused as to the fans. In the review of the 4000X and 4000D Airflow, they mention that the 4000D Airflow has 2 front fans with speed controlled by voltage as opposed to PWM.

So, I thought that the 4-pin connectors on a motherboard were for PWM... will they work with voltage-speed control fans? Or will I be stuck with them running full speed?

Alternately, given that it's slightly smaller and slightly lighter, I'm thinking of the Corsair Carbide Spec Delta RGB.. more fans, only $10 more, but I haven't (in a very hasty search) seen anything about how good of a case it is, if the airflow actually is better, loud or quiet, or if there's anything to worry about regarding the fans.


Can anyone clarify? Any opinions welcome.

the best budget cases i've seen available recently are the

Phanteks Eclipse P400A PH-EC400ATG_BK01
and the
Lian Li Lancool 215 X Black Steel

at least considered budget in my opinion
