Cons: Aurait avantage de pouvoir avoir un meilleur choix de couleur pour le panneau avant afin de mieux s'harmoniser Avec les gammes de couleurs disponibles pour les boîtier actuels.
Pros: Très bien comme appareil. Pratique pour améliorer un vieux boitier ATX. |

Cons: - Slow card reader.- Provided screws did not fit.- RF interference on audio.
Pros: - Good amount of functionality in a small package.- Two provided USB cables allow you to plug either on a free mobo USB header or in the USB ports in the back.- Looks good. Comment:
Got this to replace a Sunbeam 4-port fan controller on which I was only using two ports, and to add some front connectivity to my case. It works, and looks much better than the hardware it replaced, but has some quirks.First, the screws provided to mount the thing into your case are too big to fit into the wholes that are supposed to receive them. Luckily I was able to find some in my stash that worked. The cables provided are plenty long for my needs, and it's nice that Sunbeam includes for the USB ports both a cable to plug into a motherboard USB header and a cable that plugs into two regular USB ports. However, the card reader uses another cable that can *only* connect to a motherboard header. So you'll need *two* internal USB headers if you want to avoid using the cable that will plug into the back USB ports.The audio cable provided needs two miniplugs - there is no way to connect to internal audio headers. I get some RF interference from running cables through the inside of my case, especially on the mic. I rerouted the cables further away from my CPU fan (whose hum seemed to match what I was hearing) to try to minimize this.The fan control works as advertised, though it's pretty much impossible to know how fast your fans are spinning by just looking at the dials as they have no markings. However, the cables provided are "Y"s that should allow you to connect into your mobo's fan headers to monitor the fan's speeds in software. The plugs for the fans are of the three-pin variety.Finally, the card reader is pretty slow for me. Transfering 570MB of files from a 1GB flash card took 5m36s, whereas transfering the contents of the same card using an external USB card reader took just 1m43...

Idéal pour`inclure dans un système remonté à partir d'un vieux boitier ATX saus connections sur la facade avec en plus la possibilité de contrôler des ventillateurs. Il fonctionne très bien et est pas compliquer à installer. À prévoir à installer à la place d'un floppy drive car il est de moins en moins demander à en installer. Acheté à $25 (prix régulier $28) c'est correct comme prix mais entre $15 et $20 ça aurait plus d'allure. Je n'hésiterais pas à en acheter d'autres lorsque le besoin se fera sentir.
