<B>The In Case Test</B>:

</CENTER>
When I put the fans from the <A HREF="articles.php?id=24">C-6 Blackhawk</A> (6 of them), I really did notice a HUGE difference when I lowered them half way, and even more when on the lowest strength. At lowest strength, my CPU fan on my Volcano 7 was more apparent than the case fans. But as I said earlier, there is no off switch. I also had an Antec LED fan in the case, the LEDs would go dimmer and brighter as I varied the baybus, a cool effect.
<B>Conclusion</B>:
Xoxide has made a nice addition to the baybus by adding variable speeds. That being said, there are a few problems that I noted with this unit, hopefully, these will be fixed over time. The major problem, is not having molex connectors for the fans. Once that problem is fixed, then this unit would be great for beginners. The price now is around $35, but If your a beginner, please look away from this! If your good with stripping, slicing, splicing and are not worried about getting your hands dirty, this may be the right thing for you. I'd like to thank Chris over at <a href="http://www.xoxide.com">Xoxide</a> for sending this unit for review.
