Si i got a new case and am buying 8 fans to fill it all up. I want to get a somewhat cheap fan controller that looks cool. I am thinking that i should get maybe a 4-5 channel fan controller, but im not exacly good with knowing how many fans i can stick on a fan controller without doing anything stupid. I have 2 options for my fan controller


I have 4 140mm fans, and 4 120mm fans.

1st: This one looks pretty cool, i just don't know if it could handle 8 fans

2nd: This doesn't look very cool...but its a little cheaper and looks maybe more realiable...maybe(i dunno)

So would preferably the 1st fan controller be able to easily controls 8 fans? Or 2nd one? I am also open to suggestions. Im only going up to around 30$ ish Max...unless bitcon prices start to soar.
