Even thou I poped a mosfet on my Vantec I would still recomend it. It can control up to 4 fans and it's plug and play. :)

I like the looks of the Vantec Nexus 301 and 305, they come with 2 cold cathodes and do light control as well as handle 4 fans. does 0-12V on each rheostat

havent actually tried it though, the review at 3dgameman recommends it though

a poped mosfet :eek: ..ehh.. i got the same comment from another guy:

i got a nexus something... a chip on the board popped an hour later ;p

I'll look at Zalman or sunbeam or maybe that new Alaska Controller (http://www.systemcooling.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1238)

Got it, installation was damn easy.. sturdy control knobs.. unlike 201's, 301 offers total fan turn off feature . Love the outside green LEDs and two sound active CC's :D

I didn't do anything. It broke all on it's own. I'm now down to a 3 fan controler but seeing as I only have 2 fans on it I haven't gotten around to fixing it. :D
