Good quality controller
Cons: LEDs are a bit on the bright side. I'd prefer more of an 'indciator' light than something to signal UFOs with.

Pros: excellent dials, switchesdecent construction (didnt' notice any soldering issues as previously mentioned)huge heatsinks attached to each controller
Comment:
Attached 4 Masscool fans (2 intake-lower front, 2 exhaust-upper rear panel) with zero issues. Panel fit perfectly in empty 5.25 bay (generic copy of Lian-Li pc-60 case)

Good for the money
Cons: is it a con if you read it on the reviews before buying it,it's all the same con's, didn't fix, to bright, was hopping that it would look better in the case.

Pros: It works with out a problem, was needed in my son new antic 300 case with 4 120 fans and 1 130mm fan, sounded like an airplane ready to take off but no heat problems no more.It doe's turn the fan off,big +,came with some cables for the price,can't complain.
Comment:
For the price i have no complains,turn the led's in toward's the case, nice glow with the fan grill, would i buy again, NO, would go for a better one.

Bright
Cons: LED's are way to bright. I read about the bright LED's and blew it off because I like a little bling in my builds. They were so bright I had to move my machine from the desktop to the floor because it hurts the eyes when you look at them head on.

Pros: Works like it is supposed to.Interior housing is black, looks good in my machine.
Comment:
Quick fix to the LED problem.1) Take some electrical tape2) Cut four small pieces3) Place over LED's4) Place computer back on desk. Problem solved.

Great for money
Cons: Not really a con I had a idea what i was getting but the blue portion of the LED's are really bright, for some that is a very good thing if you going for show. I honestly have no complaints.

Pros: High power rating per channel, relatively high production quality for off-brand, don't feel like i was paying extra for a brand name or flashy box.
Comment:
Wasn't DOA. Using with the 4 pack of COOLER MASTER R4-S2S-124K-GP and 4 x OKGEAR 12" 3pin Extension Cable. Antec 900 case.

Sunbeam RHK-BA Rheobus 5.25" Bay 4 Channel 20W Fan Controller Panel (Black) - Retail
Cons: Doesn't have many adapters or extension cables, but for the price you can afford to buy as many cables as you need.

Pros: 20W per channelComes with 2 adapters for 4 pin molexHas 1 short 3 pin extension
Comment:
For some reason the cpu fan controller can not be lowered any and keep the blue light. When reviewers said the LED's were bright, they weren't kidding! I hooked my system up in the living room, and pointed the LED's down the hall. The light extended down a 30 foot hallway and into the back of the room at the end!

Sunbeam RHK-BA Rheobus 5.25" Bay 4 Channel 20W Fan Controller Panel (Black) - Retail
Cons: The LED's on this unit are VERY bright. They could just as well have been used in an LED flashlight. With no other lights on in my room at night the 4 LED's on this fan controller light up my room enough that I could easily read a book in bed if I wanted. The LED's do turn off when the fan is turned off but that may not provide enough cooling for the system overnight with all 4 fans turned off.

Pros: Large heatsinks on this unit set it apart from most others that typically have no heatsinks at all. This allows it to control larger and more powerful fans (which are exactly the type you really need a fan controller for!). I have a 150CFM 120x25mm fan inside my Tuniq Tower but my old Vantec Nexus couldn't handle it. This handles it without any issue.Knobs allow full range of control over the fan speed including the ability to turn each fan completely off with a nice solid-feeling "click" at the end of the knob's rotation.LED's change color at 7v.
Comment:
Great unit for the price, very close to perfect. If you aren't using this in a bedroom then the bright LED's might not be an issue. Or you can just do what I do and put a small square piece of cardboard in front of the controller each night before you go to bed to block out the light.

Sunbeam RHK-BA Rheobus 5.25" Bay 4 Channel 20W Fan Controller Panel (Black) - Retail
Cons: Did not fit very well in my Antec P183. Snug fit and would not fit flush with the front panel, sticks out about 0.5cm. The fans also don't start spinning until the knobs are at about 60% so it doesn't leave alot of room to control.

Pros: Allows you to quiet your fans down.
Comment:
Probably better off buying a Mobo with alot of onboard fan connectors and using a program to control fan speeds, I recomend Asus Fan Expert.

Well, its a controller
Cons: LEDs are glaring. In the pic, it looks like the nobs are backlit, but its just a LED stuck in a hole. *** No fan wire extensions*** Go figure, a fan controller for the front of the case with no 3pin extensions to plug into the 3pin headers. They giver you a 4pin Y adapter for power, a 3pin>2pin adapter and two 4pin>3pin adapters. OK, so how do you get your fan cables to the controller? You have to go out and buy some 3pin extensions, or hope you have some laying around. This is the first, and last, time I buy this controller.

Pros: Its a simple 4 channel fan controller.
Comment:
The controller I usually use always supply more than enough cables for install, lesson learned. They would be better off listing it as a bare bones controller and not even bother with the other cables, they are useless. If my customer is in the least not happy, I am sending it back.

nice control panel
Cons: the LEDs for each knob are a little bright and would be annoying if you used this in the dark.

Pros: easy to install, just like a 5.25" dvd drive. Fans just plug right into it without hassle and work.
Comment:
i use this to control 5 fans and it works great.

Almost Perfect
Cons: Well, it's broken. I mean, I got it, and if {right to left}, fan controller 2 doesn't work. I can turn the nob, light turns on and all that good stuff, but it won't power a fan. So obviously it's faulty, it a device only works 3/4 of how it should, i'm not going for 5 eggs, not even 4 because I'm sure they'll charge me for returneing it, and hell, I don't wanna do all that. Other than that, LED's are bright, but people know a solution, I have 10 BLUE LED case fans in my case, so if i don't have the 3 on this device powered high enough, it goes RED.. which is unfortunate

Pros: Excellent Device. I love the fact that I can quite possibly control 4 or more fan with this device.
Comment:
Good setup, like it, Not newegg's fault that the device arrived broken, but maybe a good policey for returned the broken stuff would be nice.

It Works
Cons: LED's WAY to bright

Pros: Easy Install, Great packaging.
Comment:
Wish it had come with 3 pin fan extensions. Considering the price of this controller and the prices for fan extensions i would think it would a top notch purchase to open it up and see 3 or 4 pin 8-10in fan extension. either way works great in my CM690 controlling 2 Antec Tricool 120mm on top, CM R series 120mm Green LED on the Thermalright Ultra 120 and 2 Yate Loon 120mm's on drive cage and side door.

Sunbeam RHK-BA Rheobus 5.25" Bay 4 Channel 20W Fan Controller Panel (Black) - Retail
Cons:- LED's change colour when above or below 7V- Had some trouble with installation- Lack of documentation

Pros:- Controls 4 fans which 20W channels- Nice and bright LED's- Comes with useful adapters- Cheap price- Nice knobs
Comment:
I bought this to control my yate loon fans as well as some other fans in my antec 1200 case. So far, it's been doing great, controlling 4 fans. It has bright LED's but I personally don't mind it. They aren't too bright. I would definitely recommend as this controller is cheap too. There was some problems with holes aligning during installation, but it was a bit at my fault. I wish the instructions were better though.

Sunbeam=FIRE
Cons: LED's are Too brightVERY POOR solderingPoor constructionWill set your computer on FIRE (and I mean smoke and a very bright orange glow coming from your computer, almost as bright as the LED's)

Pros: 4 Controller knobsSwitches on the 10K ohm Pot'sbrushed aluminum knobs
Comment:
I got this controller back in May and in July it failed, catching on fire inside my case. I showed it to my friend who's an electrical engineer and he said it was one of the worst designs he has ever seen and the workmanship on this controller was absolutely substandard.

A-
Cons: -1 egg for ridiculously bright LED's. Also, they do not 'fade' as stated, they turn from red to blue.

Pros: Very inexpensive, handles 8 different fans attached to it, has heat sinks. Switches also turn completely off!
Comment:
These LED's are brighter than the sun, wear eye protection!

Good Product
Cons: Only 1 hole on each side matched up with the mount (instead of 2 holes like other items and is normally done). But that is ok, since it doesnt really vibrate or anything.

Pros: Contrary to some reviewers, I like the bright front lights. I didnt have any problem with it fitting in the case.
Comment:
I was hoping that my fans could be 'juiced up' with this to make them go faster, but they dont. I really didnt know until now that a max fan speed is determined by the fan, not the controller. I guess I would have to buy faster fans.

Good Controller
Cons: Only beef I had with this unit was that it wasnt very easy to get into my case, it took a lot more struggle then it was worth, eventually I had to "MOD" the Controller by removing a few plates from its sides and then molding it to the bottom portion of my Full Tower's bottom 5.25 Bracket.

Pros: Pretty decent fan controller, worked right out of the box went really well with my Sunbeam Transformer Case, the settings control is quite nice, not to meantion the LED matches my case colors so now fuss there. The wires were just long enough, and a cinch to put together.
Comment:
The unit is about a quarter of a inch too big, if it was sized down a little bit less the caseless design would work with this model, and it would also fit a lot more properly without too much fuss in a Mid / Full ATX Case.

It's Ok
Cons: Don't care for the brightness of the lights.

Pros: It makes it easy to control the fan speed of all the fans in my case which is good because it makes it easy to balance coolness with noise. Turn the fans down when the computer is just idling. Crank em up when you need to get er' done. Phenom II 955 idle 34.5c to 37. 40 in use, 50+ full throttle.
Comment:
Wish they had these years ago. Do yourself a favor get a good power supply, and fan controller to move lots of air. It makes a difference.

Work great
Cons: None

Pros: This is not the best looking fan controller but it gets the job done. I have a CM Stacker case and 8 fans in the case so being able to control all of the is a big plus. The blue and red lights are nice to be able to see which fan is running.

Good Quality, Low Cost!
Cons: I did have to machine down my computers faceplate just a bit to get them to fit better. They were just a hair too wide.

Pros: I've had one of these for around 2 years now with no issues at all. I liked it so much that I just ordered this one to power my proto rigs new lighting system. One powering 4 120mm quad LED fans, the other controlling 4 liquid neon tubes. These controllers get the job done and look good doing it. Simple, rugged design, sleek look, and the super bright color changing LEDs are nothing short of pure wickedness.
