Sunbeamtech Intros Smart Fan Controllers
Sunbeamtech let loose its Smart Fan Controller 6 and Smart Fan Controller 3. These internal fan-speed controllers fit into the 5.25" and 3.5" drive bays, and offer manual control over 6 and 3 channels, respectively. Both controllers take power input from a Molex connector, as well as have a connection with the motherboard to let you synchronize all fan speeds using PWM signals from the motherboard. While the Smart Fan Controller 6 offers up to 30W per channel, the Smart Fan Controller 3 gives 20W per channel. The units are enclosed in aluminum that's open on top to help ventilate the heat-producing FETs. The front-bezel is made of perforated black metal, with aluminum rotary knobs.

Just don't need a fan controller, buy my fans with right RPM for me. With that mobo PWM signal though you'd get a really silent case for idle. But Arctic Cooling for example already has fans that can connect to them selves, does the same thing without a controller.
2. It doesnt show rpm
3. It doesnt autoadjust
What exacly do they mean by it being "smart" in any way.
