Um, I actually picked up a dehummer type triac fan controller (3-spd) last night. When I wired it in, it gave me three speeds: full, 30% (turns 1100 CFM to about 150 CFM), and stall (the fans are audibly popping as they stall too far past the waveguide ... maybe 10 CFM total, if you're lucky and don't kill the fans). I think this'll work, since when my puters are idling, I can set it to 30%, and when I need some killer cooling, I can crank the heat on (though it is about 47-48 dB of fan noise). I think I'll just stick with this for a few months and then look at putting on a variac and do it right.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a dehummer circuit for fully variable control. They require a set number of connection settings in order to work. C'est la vie.
