The first I build. Here as voltage regulator for the CPU. Three components: 420 ohm thermistor, 10k ohm variable resistor (you only need 5k ohm though) and the adjustable voltage regulator. I used the design found here, but without the capacitators.

Green wires to thermistor, top wires is voltage in and bottom wires to the fan. Brown wire to the control box indicator. (Yes, it's normal sewing pins that sticks it to the foam.)
