I like my fanmate controllers. But they are to ugly to put on the outside of the case. And I can't adjust fanspeed when they are in the inside of the case.
I was thinking I could strip off the plastic casing. The insides look about the width of a pci slot. Drill some holes in a pci slot cover and attach.
Has anyone stripped a fanmate case before? It looks like its just glued together.

It's not glued, just snap on cover. Using small flathead screwdriver, you should be able to open it.
There's a heatsink inside - so I don't think you can just drill a hole in pci slot for the adjustment knob. Why not just stick it at the back of your case if you don't want to see it.

2 reasons.
My case is not really tucked away under a desk. So you can see the sides and the abck.
That and just sticking them on the back doens't really have any cool factor.
If I isulate the internals of the fanmate from the pci slot cover I should be ok?
The adjustment knob should be long enough?
