Default Pop-up rheostats. Where can I find some?

I am looking to buy some pop-up style rheostats for fan control. These are commonly found in car stereos, but I am looking for some universal ones. They "disappear" when pushed in similar to a click type pen button. I can't seem to find these anywhere.

Are you sure it is a rheostat can handle your load?

I was planning on using 4 total. 1 for 1x120, 2 for 2x120 and one for variable pump.

I don't know much about small electronics, so if you have any input, I am all ears. Looking at a fan controller as well. Not sure which way to go.

it would actually be easier (and probably cheaper) to just get a fan controller. i know it isnt the modding way, but would be the most logical.


fans are only gonna draw about 2w and the pump i dont know, you would have to verify that in the pump specs. some of the older potentiometer fan busses had heatsinks on them, but i havent seen one like that in awhile

That quote really depends on what fans he's gonna use. My TT Thunderblades draw close to 5w each.
