External fan controller

[Leonofhyjal]

Hey guys, I wondering if there are any nice external fan controllers out there. I don't mean ones that go at the front of your case. I'm looking for something that looks more like the high end usb headphone amps that sit on your desk. Probably 4x2x1 inches in size with 3-4 channels.

I use 6 27 inch monitors so getting up and going to the front of my case is a real pain. So I just want the fan controller to sit between the bases of 2 of my monitors. I've looked everywhere for something like this and haven't found anything that's even close...

I run a machining company that could easily design something like this if they simply don't exist. If that's the case I'd love to get some feedback on what else could be incorporated into the design.

Something like this is very nice:

I think you may be out of luck. The only external fan controller I found was a device that you had to run your fan cable to, and then you would run that to the mobo. So basically no.

 

Edit: I have been proven wrong.

Ehh the problem with those is they are to tall to fit beneath a monitor. Is there nothing that's just a box of aluminum with a few knobs?

Not sure about this but this wouldn't look so bad on a desk

as far as i know. the nzxt lxe that was suggested above is the only dedicated off computer fan controller. aside from that you have the standard 5.25 bay controllers that you can set on your desk and just run extensions to depending on just how far away your computer is.
