Link. I was thinking it's waste to have to use a bay for a card reader and one for a rheobus. Then I saw this. I know in the past, there have been problems with some rheobuses (ie. Sunbeam?) being able to handle the load of some fans. Does this one have any problems?

It says it supports fans at 12v/0.4a and above. Most high speed fans are .4 - .6 amps (IIRC) so... maybe email the manufacturer? What kinds of fans are you gonna run off it? If you have a bunch of tornados you wanna run you might be out of luck. 92mm tornado is 1 amp.

What kinda problems are you referring to with Sunbeam? I have one now, and havent had any problems yet... although the strongest fan its powering is a 120mm Evercool aluminum
