You might hit your motherboard at that point, lol xP. Not a bad idea if it fits though, getting it to fit is the only issue. xD

+1...comes back full circle. Dont worry about a shroud. You do not need it.

In order of best performing to worst performing:
Push/pull with shrouds (four fans thick)
Push/pull without shrouds (two fans thick)
Just push or just pull with shrouds (two fans thick)
Just push or just pull (one fan thick)
Move down the list until it fits.

Personally I have my push pull set up so it runs horizontally pulling in from the ram to cool that and going to the two higher airflow fans I stuck in the rear of the 1200 here, but I still have that big bugger fan over the top of all that sucking air out too over the top of all that I guess

Somehow some pull
Don't know exactly why but seem to get best temps when top pull fans run slightly higher rpms than bottom push fans..
sorry .. custom mod shroud built for mine.. don't know if its right or wrong.

Fan RPM
Yes I can change my fan rpm with this little gem... I have my (2) push fans on one channel and my (2) pull fans on another channel the other channel manages my bottom case fan pulling clean air in and the last channel adjusts my back case fan pushing out.
4 Channel fan controller...

It's on the fan controller itself, hardware controlled.

Retractable Knobs
yep. .... I got them all pushed in at the moment retractable knobs sit flush.. All I can say is when you build and wire manage...... patience patience patience..
Like this controller alot.. threshold is about 680rpm before turning off fan. The other thing is if you stop a fan or a fan dies.... this has one LOUD A** alarm.

ah yes ican see the knobs now :L
how fast can they spin the fans? im guessing the top rpm that the fans spin?
and ah right, so if you turn them to low they go off? and then the buzzer sounds?
plus, isee your using the i5?
whats your set-up like playing high-end games now and in the future?

I don't think he can predict the future .
The knobs translate to voltage. At max, the controller feeds a full 12V to the fan, so it's spinning at it's max speed. As you turn the knob down, it reduces the voltage sent to the fan, slowing it down. AFAIK, most fans need about 7V to start spinning, but can spin down to about 5V.

They're worth the money if you care about silence.
I personally run some crazy high RPM fans straight from the PSU, with no fan controller. I could care less, but most people would call me crazy.
Connectors depend on the fan controller, usually if you find one on Newegg and look at the pictures, you can tell what type of connectors they use.
