I would just like to put out a word to the wise. There is atleast one other 3.5 Fan Controller out on the market that looks damn near identicle to this one. The "fake" looks exactly the same from the front except for the fact that it has plastic knowbs that are chromed over and all accounts I have heard so far the worksmanship on it is shoddy and it sells for almost the same price. I saw a review on it on another site. It may be an older version of the same product reviewed here. I will look into it when I get home though and post more information.



EDIT: Here is a link to the bad one I was talking about. If you click on its picture, you will see what I mean about the knobs.

I'm pretty sure it is the same one. I have seen companies advertise stuff as "theirs" when in actuality it is the rheobus "they carry".

I've only been able to find this particular model marketed under one other name, and it was a company out of Sweden. I found several that were pretty close, but only one that was the exact unit.

Great review BTW BA. Also if anyone is considering buying one of these as I myself am for possible future mod I'm thinking about, I will probably go through mnpctech for a few reasons. First his is part of "our" community and I would rather see the $$ go to him than just a reseller. Secondly, because of BA's review, we know exactly what we are getting.

I agree Feral, I would buy from him also. He is a great, contributing member to our forum.

Great review BA, and just in time. I've been eyeing similar controllers for a month or so. (the SVC model for one)

So thanx for the review BA, and also the heads up Feral.
