Hey there,

What are the best, coolest looking, rheobus fan controllers available?

Please post your recommendations here.
 
i like clean and simple, so i say Sunbeam Rheobus...but dam those leds are bright
 
well i was going to make my own post but i'll just Hijack yours instead since you are looking for something similar. :p

I am limited on space in my origional Stacker because a dual radiator is going in the front.

I'm not sure that I will ned a controller yet because I have not recieved my fans Panaflow 120mm L1A's..

I was looking at these units since they also include switches.

no switches but says it controlls lights too.

Zalman - looks kinda goofy and only 7 watts per channel

finaly this looks like a cool device, but not sure I would trust areocool afgter their last fan controller went bad and may have toasted my CPU.
 
the sunbeam rheobus is pretty neat and all but to me what makes it best is full 100% control of your fans. more so than any others besides maybe the smaller floppy sized mitron
 
I like the $27 one you can mount to any front panel myself...I wanted a nice plain black cover with nice aluminum knobs...

However owning a stacker I'm thinking this is a poor choice since I don't have aluminum drive bay covers?

Might have to get the sunbeam one, is there any way to get the knobs off it and replace them with aluminum ones?

I also found this one http://www.svc.com/ls-bk.html says it can do both fans and lights but its just as ugly as the others!
 
Sunbeam rheobus. It can withstand loads of juice and has nice smooth control. I don't know how much you'll like the looks of it. I just shove mine back into the bay as far as possible and hold it steady with a screw. That way it's behind the second door of my case and I don't see it unless I want to.
 
I haven't seen any fan controllers that are too stellar either, I want one that is black with knobs, and a small LCD to monitor RPM.
 
it's not technically a rheobus, since it uses PWM, but my vantec nexus controller works fine.

it matches my lian-li's brushed aluminium finish, has moderately powered blue LEDs surrounding the knobs, and can handle any fan that i have wanted to control, including my old delta 92mm FFB screamer.

it's nothing special, but it works.

The vantec nexus rocks, had mine for years, and also got a lian-li case, but as i cant stand any kind of branding i usually mod all my stuff to get rid of the branding, just as i did with my vantec nexus fanbus...
