At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, I'd like to post my positive experiences w/ mCubed and their t-balancer fan controller. Not that I'm trying to represent them, but their service and product have truly impressed me, and I believe they deserve some positive word of mouth.
Here's a repost of mine from silentpcreview:
So I bought a t-balancer a few weeks ago and it arrived from Austria within a week. Of course, I was dismayed to discover that it wouldn't install properly (usb issue, perhaps damaged from shipping overseas) and RMA'd the unit. Malk from mcubed was very cordial about the entire issue and even agreed to cross-ship another unit to me. Their responses were very fast and they sent several solutions for me to try in the event that it wasn't a faulty unit.
Overall, I have to say I'm impressed with mcubed's cust service. Of course, I'm not sure what kind of volume they're dealing with, but they certainly took good care of me. They even threw in two complimentary attenuators for my 'trouble.' I can only hope that as they get bigger/busier they can maintain the same level of excellent service.
The unit itself certainly works well, but there has been discussion here about the temperature sensors not scaling properly. This doesn't seem to be as bad an issue with my particular machine, the sensor temps only report +/- 1 degree of variance from my mobo sensors at any given time, but I guess I can see it being a problem for some setups. Hopefully, they can come up with a more precise method of temperature measurement.
To sum up, the t-balancer is definitely one of the coolest toys I've ever come across for a PC enthusiast. The precise level of adjustment it gives the user is awesome, and the best part is that it requires no intervention after everything has been setup. My computer has been running cool (relatively speaking for me) and quiet ever since.
I've searched through the forums and the very few people who have heard of the t-balancer have all had positive experiences as well.
Reviews and images can be googled.
