All in all I really like this unit. The combination of looks, ease of use, and functionality blend into an indispensable piece of equipment that everyone who is serious about computers should have (or at least desire ^_^).
Although it is a little pricey ($70 Canadian, which is about $45 US), I feel it is well worth the money if this is something that would be useful to you. I never really thought that something like this would be all that great, but now that I have it I don’t know how I would go about doing daily business without the capability to turn off my fans at will (or turn them on).
Instead of a jet engine in my room I can now just have peace and quiet. The product is high quality construction, using printed circuit boards so there’s really no wire mess. Just plug in the fans, plug in the Molex connector, and jam it in a free drive bay, and you’re ready to go.
The only problem I had with this is the fact that you do have to cut the connectors off your fans to use the unit, and also I probably would have preferred spring terminals instead of the screw-down terminals which this unit implements. I am giving this product a 9.5/10 and awarding it with the OCmodshop Seal of Approval.
I would like to take a chance to thank Lux-Design for sending this product into the ‘Shop to be tested.
