Is there a way where I can use the fan controls without having to open the case and change the speeds?
are you fans plugged into the motherboard?
yes: use speed fan or equivlent
no: plug them into the motherboard, if they cant be plugged in, buy a fan controller that sits in a 5 1/2inch bay

The rear fans control mechanism is on a long enough cable that you can put the end through the water-cooling holes on the back.
Or at least, that's what I did.
The intake fans however and the one on the top, no, fan controller.

Good idea, I put the back out of water cooling hole... the front intakes and the top fan have fan controls
Put it out the watercooling hole, that's what I did

Roger that, should I tie it to another so it doesn't go astray and touch any component whilst the power is on? the outside of the cable is plastic so it should be fine anyway

It's fine. The controller part is large enough not to magically spring back through the rubber lined watercooling hole.

Alrighty then I might do this tomorrow
Shame the Antec 300 has no holes like that. I could do with easier access to my switches.

this for gods sake, I hate it that I have to open up my case to change controls.
There was a few spare bits that came with the case, I have no idea what some of them are for.. theres a few parts for the front of the case
Edit: Thank you people, I now have my fan control switch hanging outside of my case :smile:
