Anyone else have this yet? I just set one up and there are some issues I'd like to point out.

The LED's are sensitive to voltage, and get progressively brighter as you turn the power up. This is a neat effect, but when I'm hooking 2 fans on the same line, or putting an undervolting adapter on the line, the LED goes a little crazy. The brightness fluctuates, which is kind of annoying.
Also, the two baybus switches have a red/black screw down connector only, so if you are planning on hooking a fan into it you'll have to cut off the 3-pin adapter. Not a problem for me since I'm using them to control CCFL's.
Just some things to be aware of. I like this controller so much better than the sunbeam, simply because it isn't brighter than the sun.
