    Cool question about 'Sunbeam Rheobus Fan Speed Controller'

    If anybody here owns one of these Sunbeam Rheobus units, I'd really like to know something please: If I were to install it into my Antec SX1030 case, will the front door on the case still fully close?

    I got mine from svc.com about a month ago and I love it. I have no problem closing the door on my Cheiftec tower, and the red/blue LED's emit a nice glow from the vents in the door. Plus, with each channel able to handle 22 watts of power, you can wire 2 fans to each without a problem. I highly recommend it

    is this your case because i am getting this case and i am looking for a rheobus...with 4 fans already installed without the rheobus be easy to connect them to the rheobus

    Both of the sunbeam untis are the perfect size and allow the doors on the antec, chieftec, and chenming case to fully close.

    i love my sunbeam rheobus kit. I like how it allows you the ability to turn off fans, and the leds change color after you go past a certain voltage .

    I bought the swicthes but I drilled the holes into my bay cover myself. They are either on or off. When the computer is off the CCL's stay off permanantly, but when it's on, I can switch them on or off. I hope this answered your question

    BTW, each switch controls each CCL

    i have a chieftec case...and cannot get the door to close. after reading this, though...im thinking i didnt do something right. but i know i tried all the mounting holes...but ill try again. as of right now, no, i cant close the door.

    edit - after retyring the different mounting holes, yes it closes fine. i musta been under the influence of something...
