Yeah, I think the Scythe Q8 is supposed to be used like that. Mounted in the case, but with the face on the front of the case's external. But that's not what I want. I want my front panel untouched. 600T's side panel takes less then a second to open, so it won't be a problem for me. Just some latches.

If you do, I believe Sunbeam made a PCI mounted controller that could handle a ton of power on 2 channels. You could probably run a large amount of fans off one channel.
I saw this earlier when I was looking around, but I don't like the design. I would have to run cables out to the PCI area of the motherboard which will expose a lot of wiring.
