Showing off my new cabinet
Paladin:
I slow down fans by swapping the yellow/red wires in the molex connector. That way the fan gets 5v instead of 12v.
mike_bike_kite:
Just to say I tried a fan controller (just a variable resistor I think) on the 20cm fan but it didn't really work. Either the fan wouldn't turn or it would start to turn slowly and then slowly build up to full speed.
I didn't try using the 5v line instead of the 12v - I wasn't sure whether this might blow a fuse or something.

Thats wierd. I have controllers on all the fans in my pc case and it works perfectly.
