Ewwww... I ordered 3 Pc chips boards and i've had NOTHING but problems with them. Eventually i've had to return 1 twice and the 2 other's sometimes even refuse to post. I'd certainly never buy Pc chips again.

But the aero 7 is top stuff and quiet as a mouse.

JB: did you use the 3.5" floppy bay mount for the Aero 7 fan controller? Only I'd heard they don't fit all that well, and CoolerMaster are reworking the design.

Actually mine wasnt the speed controllable one, just came set at 1 speed which was about 2000 rpm.
