I have a large cabinet in my media room that serves as a wiring cabinet for my network equipment, cable TV amplifiers and LED lightig controllers. None of these components generate a whole lot of heat, but I did want to have some air flow to keep things cool in a pinch. I modified this product, and it works great.
=== The Good Stuff ===
* The configuration is ideal for using this for unplanned uses. The wires between the fans and controllers are long enough to do quite a bit with, and the use of USB hardware makes things even easier.
* The fan/thermostat combintion works well. I was able to set the controller at a relatively high temperature, so the only time the fans kick on is under very high loads on the electrical equipment. When they come on, they don't move a lot of air, but it is enough to move the hot air out of the top stack of my cabinet and keep things cool.
* The controller mounts nicely into a wooden panel, and the whole things looks pretty cool when it is setup. The display is always on, and it is obvious from looking at the display what is going on.
* The fans are easy to mount in a variety of ways. There are holes at the four corners that go through the fan and grills, and it is easy to drive a screw into them to hold the fan. The rubber grommets make for a nice, shock/vibration proof mount
=== The Not-So-Good Stuff ===
* The way the fans are wired, I ended up having to cut and splice the supply wires to get the configuration I wanted. This was not a big deal, but in an ideal world, the wires would have been separate rather than ganged.
=== Summary ===
This was a great find, and made a nice addition to my network cabinet. The fans don't move a lot of air, but that wasn't a big issue since I don't have a lot of wattage in my cabinet. The quality of the materials made mounting and doing a little re-engineering quite easy. The comfort level exceeded expectations. Looks even better in person.
