So when you are surfing the web and not doing something very taxing on your comp you dont become deaf, and you can crank up the fans when you start gaming to keep everything nice and cool.

simply to control fans on your system. the reason most people use a fan controller is to either quiet down a particularily loud fan when not doing anything taxing or when doing something taxing they ratchet the fan up for cooling purposes. those are the main functions, but they can also be used to monitor temperature, fan speed, or perhaps a fan failure which would be indicated with a built-in alarm on the fan controller

In theory. My fans for example have terible reaction to Speedfan - they buzz. Probably some capacitor would solve the problem tho..
Purpose of having controller - to adjust speed of my fans. I have full load all the time, so I only change graphics card cooler speed (on/off), but still without controller it would be much easier to hear my computer.

Plus to look cool and say you have one. Maybe save some power to, mainly though for noise. Some noisy fans are to much for people to take so you crank it down in the power area making the fans spin slower. Then crank it up when doing some heavy work.

That is only 14.04 watts for $9. You would be better off wiring your own using something like this http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=RHE-15&type=store
Unfortunitly tho it is currently out of stock but you have an idea what to look for.

I think I might just use capacitors. I don't need to control, I just don't want to run at
