Vantec Nexus fan controller :) Killer!!!!

Man I have to say this has to be the best $30 I ever dropped! I had read allot of people having probs with this controller glitching ect so I was sceptical at first. Plugged it in and mine was glitching as well, fans cutting in and out ect.... :( But I found the prob! It was the crappy powercord extender they included in with the package! Took that out and plugged it directly into the supply and it is rock solid! My system is easily 200% lower in volume being that every 3db +/- is equal to 100% increase / decrease. Since I am not gaming and taxing my pc all the time I was able to turn the fans WAY down. the idle temp rose from 96-98F to 104-105F which is very acceptable when the system is at idle! Crank the controller and within a minute or so temps are right back down to the 96-98F range. My pc is now located on top of my desk so it was driving me nuts with the 8,000 rpm delta 60mm screaming in my right ear which is why I wanted this! I can give it a 9/10 skirts up! the reason it did not get a 10 out of 10 was because of the crappy power connecter and also when the dial is all the way down the fans do not shut off and there is no on off switches for each fan that would have been cool :) Once neat thing is that when the led fans are on the lowest setting they strobe *LOL* pretty cool :)

wow cool

hey what u need is to paint the inside of your case black or gold or yellow or blue or something

then it will be more killer
or neon paint

or maybe use a UV light and UV paint ur looms because there are lots of it
green bright looms makes it look like radioactive waste flowing thru

Naw :) I am pretty much done with this baby looks wise, except some custom fan grill for the side panel and mabey an applique if I find the right one. The last peice of the puzzle is going to probably be either an innovatek or a koolance wattercooling kit. Will get that hopefully for my b-day. Oh yeah and also I will be cleaning up the loom so you do not see as much... kinda messy right now for my taste.

[eviltechie]

my dream is to have neon paint on all of the edges of my case
including edges of PCBs

hehehe

I have basicly the same case, Xaser II w/full side window.
I would like to know where in the blazes did you put all the extra power cables?
I have a big mess of cables all parallel with the powersupply. I think this looked bad enough that I painted the window on the inside above the bottom rail where the power supply is mounted.
Did you just cut all the extra cabling and do away with it?
I thought about it but didn't.

All the extra is tucked behind and on top of the powersupply :) all in black loom. Looks good

[eviltechie]

I got the TDK 52x24x48 CDRW at Performance-pcs.com... They do alot of custom painting and I got the one in silver... They also sell the wire sleeving... I ordered the Neon Yellow that way it would react with the UV Cold Cathodes...
