Please help them theyre dying!

Unless you've got a nice chunk of change ($100-$300+USD), Stinky's idea sounds like a good alternative. I know what kind of controller you're talking about, I've seen all sorts of dimmers being used. But it can also be terribly stressful for some fans to have the current regulated. Some might actually get hotter than normal, burn our prematurely, or worse. I can't really give accurate safety tips on them, because I've never used a dimmer on a fan. I've installed plenty of dimmers on lights, but that's a pretty mindless task. Just remember to spend a few days checking on all of the components if you decide to wire up a dimmer switch, and making sure nothings getting too warm.

Take care.
