I found the controller that Bing had posted but I know nothing about building a circuit. Would you know of any controllers that are available to purchase from somewhere that would work well with using 2 of these fans?

This! I was looking at drive bay fan controllers, are any of those worth wild?

Ya the website was available earlier, hopefully it will be back up from that maintenance soon. Its a 6,000 rpm @ 100% fan
 
I wish I could get someone to build me one of those controllers in Bings post. Lol, I don't know how to approach something like that, but it's exactly what I need.

Same here but we don't need the 6000RPMs even though that would be cool to blast it for a minute or two. But even once its built on the circuit board how the heck do I house the thing and where would I put it on my case so that it's easily accessible?

You can put it wherever you want, I'm pretty sure BF modded it into a channel on his fan controller once he deadbugged it...you can do literally anything with it though. You can't use ANYTHING you'll find on newegg. That fan pulls 4A at 100%, which means you have 48W at 100%, and probably ~120-170W at startup...any of those dinky 12W controllers would melt immediately from that kind of current draw.
 
again, WHY ARE YOU PAYING THE PREMIUM FOR PWM WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING A PWM CONTROLLER? I put it in all caps because you ignored it last time and it's damn important that you be able to answer that question.
