i have the regular rheobus http://www.petrastechshop.com/surhfanspcob.html and i love it....guess it just depends on how many fans you need to control and whether or not you want lcd

the ones w/knobs will be better in my experience i've tried the digital ones and they work for bleh...the manual of course you'll have to change settings physically but what fans are you gonna attach to the controller? if it's only for case fans then the manual should be good enough.

the rheobus does 5v,7v,12v, and off i believe.....works well for my radiator fans. rheobus extreme should suit you just fine.....i haven't heard many good things about digital fan controllers

i had a digital one.. i find knob ones more practical. digital sometimes a bit hasssle to use. id prefer the rhoebus or the zalman zm-mfc1 plus. those two are good controllers

Hardcano is a POS, Sunbeam rocks, check the reviews, or just compare the two from the links you gave, Hardcano: any type of heatsinks??
Sunbeam (Second thumbnail) Check the size of those monster heatsinks!
I think they allow you to do 2.5A and 30W per channel, so you could control two fans per.
Or, just get the regular Rheobus, but, whwtaever you do, don't get the Hardcano
Everybody says it sucks (almost as badly as the chromatic windmill); It doesn't allow decent user config. of the temp cutoff thresholds, so, even though it does come with temp. probes, they are rendered pretty much useless.
Cheers

do not get the chromatic windmill.. mine went wierd after a few months. now it stuck on the fan setting where i can change the speeds of the fan without holdin down fan button. also.. i cant change anything else. lol >_>

zalman or rhoebus. best two choices. whichever you like better.
