I'm looking to find a good fan controller for my antec case, but I want one small enough so that I can close the door. I'm thinking of buying a sunbeam rheobus off someone on the forum, but I'm not sure about the lights and how much the nobs stick out.
Anyone have any experience with this or know of a good fan controller for this case? Thanks.

I've been on the same quest for my new build and ordered a Zalman ZM-MFC1, which is arriving on Monday. I'll let you know if that unit is a happy fit in my P180b.

The Rheobus knobs protrude about a half inch from the front panel. See if you can find a Coolermaster Aerogate 3 (been discontinued but I was able to find it for under $25. last I looked) if the Rheobus won't work for you.

since u have a door, why not get the sunbeam rheobus, the only Con about it is the super bright LED's that blind u at night. with ur door u can keep them covered =]. Best simple fan controller ever, i have 2 x deltas @ 3200rpm, 1 x aerocool turbine @ 1800rpm and my LL plus fan hooked up to it, supplys power to them fine @ 12v startup

before that i used a Zalman ZM MFC1 for a week, i realized it was broken when the dials turned 360 degrees, RMA'd and bought the Rheobus Black aluminum to match my case better, the sunbeam's knobs stick out about 1.25 Cm

For what's worth - I just popped the Zalman ZM-MFC1 onto the rails and it fits just fine in my P180b, with plenty of room for the knobs with door closed.

I have a Vantec analog controller in my P180. Works great, looks sharp and fits in the unused 3.5 inch bay. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. As a bonus, the blue backlights are identical to the blue LEDs the P180 already uses, so I don't have a Christmas tree on my front panel. The door closes fine as well.
