Fan controller recommendations

Anyone with experience with a specific controller that fits the bill could you recommend a cheap fan controller,...

A 2+ fan controller for 3.5" bay would be ideal if under $25 approximately.

Or a 4+ controller for the 5.25" bay for under $35 approximately.

Black facing is a must.
LED color, blue preferable, red or green is ok.

I had some saved info under a different computer, but cannot access that info for a while, so any input is greatly appreciated!
 
This is what I use with multiple high amp fans on a single channel, no problems.

edit- The sunbeam herm0016 suggests has better specs and volts down to "0", I would try it.
 
Definitely the Sunbeams. If the bright LEDs bother you, you can mod the resistor and change LEDs, or coat the LED with black nail polish (<- trick told to me by Galvanized Yankee, quite a while ago).
 
The sunbeam is a great little unit for the price. But...you must realize that it can very easily turn off the fans. If you need something that runs from slow to fast (i.e. no "off" setting), the sunbeam isn't what you want.
 
Thanks all for the replies,..

The sunbeam is exactly what I was looking for. I had seen it before, but sometimes you just don't recall everything when on a different computer (different household for days) and don't have favorites and such to refer to!!!

The ability to turn off the fan, the price, color of facing, etc, all perfect,...
 
I can only recommend the original Sunbeam Rheobus from personal experience. There are several others out there that are on a similar design. The main drawback of the Rheobus is that it doesn't come with a set of fan extensions like the C-M Aerogate 3 (my main fan controller which has long been discontinued) did, so if your setup will need extensions, order them along with the controller - may as well order a complete set of 4 as it's always good to have a spare in your kit anyway. Jab has a good price on those as well.
