THe 2000 looks much nicer imo. no?
Its a nice gadget but I have to say, its one of those PC gadgets i think is a complete waste of cash.
I have one of these, picked it up open-box for $20 at fry’s, I love it. During boot-up, the fans pump 100% until the firmware kicks in and takes over. Also, first time I plugged it in my system read it fine. After a formatting, it’s showing up in device manager as “universal serial bus [usb] controller” with the yellow triangle icon. This has become frustrating.
Find it on sale, used, or open box, but I wouldn’t have spent $60 on it, had enough trouble spending $20 on anything that’s kinda gimmicky.
What bothers me is that the brush of the aluminum is horizontally, whilst most of the PC housings made by corsair are brushed vertically, does anyone have a combination of this fan controller and a corsair housing?
