Also, I found a good place to put the speed control device on the Volcano 7+. I left a floppy 3 1/2 inch slot open in the front, (my case has a metal piece inside each slot that you have to wiggle and break off before you can put a drive into, or else it'll block the front end of it), and bent the piece of metal slightly so it pushes air down. I then slid the control unit out, and then bent the piece of metal back up just enough to prevent the control from falling back in. I also have a fan inside, at the bottom for air intake, so... now I can adjust the speed of my CPU fan without opening the case, and at the same time, it allows more air into the case to cool it down. I tested it with a piece of paper and it gets sucked into the opening.
Oh yeah, I did put 2 pieces of clear scotch tape on each sides just to hold it there.
BTW, I switched over from a Cool Master CP5-J something (the quiet one) to theVolcano 7+, and my CPU temps dropped big time...
Oh and, Newegg is cool, but they sell the Volcano 7+ for $38 + $6 shipping. I bought it local for $28
