Opinions on this FanBus from UmaxPC.com ?

[Quad]

Here's a review from GideonTech and the vendor page is here .

This seems like quite a good deal, considering it has the bi-colour leds and and variable voltages. Has anyone ever bought this, or anything else from Umax? Do you think its good?

thx in advance

I bought the same exact thing from pcmods and it was great. Easy to install and work with.

The review pretty much sums it up. My friends have the fanbus and the rheobus. If you have large and fast fans and have the money, I would suggest that you go for the rheobus. The rheobus is $60 but it puts out 17w in each of their knobs whereas fanbus only has 6w per switch. So if you want to control high speed delta fans, you have to go with rheobus. If you're working with low speed fans such as panaflo's, then fanbus should be fine. If you're going for looks, rheobus looks pretty cool with their ultra bright blue led's =P.

the switch BB is easy to install, i wasn't lying

just a FYI, those switches took up to about 10W or so each before it felt hot. so its pretty tough.

The pcmods fanbus can handle 17W per channel, that one can take only 6W
