In the world of fan controllers, there are literally hundreds of options out there, but what sets this particular controller apart from the rest is the versatility of this product. It is perfect for those situations where you need to install both fan controls and light controls.
The 4-channels of adjustable (knob style) fan controls are pretty straight forward. It provides easy 3-pin Fan connectors for each channel. Zalman does include some splitters to allow you to connect multiple fans to each channel which is a great feature...as many folks will need to attach more than 4 fans to the controller.
The control knobs themselves seem to be of average sturdiness, simply meaning they don't feel like they are going to break off in your hand, nor do they feel like dials to a bank vault. The speeds of the fans (and brightness of the fans LED's) noticeably change with slight adjustment to the knobs, which is indicative that the control knobs do in fact work.
The last 2 channels of the Controller are not adjustable knobs - instead they are replaced with 3-position toggle switches. These are set for OFF/12VDC/5VDC...perfect for case lights. With an easy screw down to secure the power and ground wires from any electronic component...you have got yourself an on/off toggle switch on the front of your case.
What mostly impresses me about this particular fan controller is the ease at which the front panel (bezel) is replaced with a standard 5.25" drive cover. Perfect for the case-modders out there. With the removal of 4 screws - the bezel comes right of and can be replaced with any modded drive cover to have a 100% matching bezel.
All-in-all, I would say that this controller is a perfect fit for cases that will need light and fan controls.

Of all the things I miss...I think I miss my mind the most.
