Nice, sleeved cables are a must now a days.

AhokZYashA · Aug 23, 2011, 06:57 PM

50W per channel, great,
it can drive even the craziest delta fans

sadly i dont have my PC now

theJesus · Aug 23, 2011, 07:38 PM

Do want! At first I saw 50w and thought "Oh, some people are going to complain that it won't be enough for more than a couple of high-powered deltas," but then I saw 50w per channel

[H]@RD5TUFF · Aug 23, 2011, 09:03 PM

Wish the cables were sleved for that price, but seems like a solid package.

popswala · Aug 23, 2011, 09:20 PM

50w per channel is sweet. Be nice if you can put splts on each channel so 2 fans per channel both getting 50w. Be nice for some heave water looop. I want one of these right now. Could use a little screen so you now what your set at.

TotalChaos · Aug 23, 2011, 09:43 PM

no splitter cables included but I agree it would be nice

PopcornMachine · Aug 23, 2011, 10:18 PM

I see one of these in my future.

TacoTown · Aug 23, 2011, 10:48 PM

I don't even have a need for a fan controller and I want this...

TotalChaos · Aug 23, 2011, 11:21 PM

Sinzia · Aug 23, 2011, 11:22 PM

it looks nice to boot, and using spliters, this would be more than enough for my rig.

jsfitz54 · Aug 23, 2011, 11:30 PM

What is going on. The last picture shows a large plastic near empty box.

Where are the electronics to handle 50 Watts?

More Info Please.

popswala · Aug 24, 2011, 12:00 AM

The casing does look rather big and useless. There previous controllers weren't.

blu3flannel · Aug 24, 2011, 04:08 AM

I really like the use of sliders, it has a very unique appearance. They could have used less metal, considering there's a considerable amount sort of sitting there at the end. Still looks like a good controller, though.
