In it I found the Rheobus, a Molex Y-cable, 6 screws and the instructions. This drive fits perfect in a 5.25 drive bay and it’s available in this silver look and also in black. The knobs that you use to control the fan speed are made of the same aluminum as the front. Sunbeam has put some thought into the knobs because when you turn it on and completely off you hear a nice click sound so you know whether it’s on or off

Some inside pictures and as we see you can connect 4 devices to this rheobus. You can connect CCFL,led fans, and normal fans etc. However it’s meant for fans in general There are no rules to what you can do, and that’s the great thing about being in the modding business.

Well I did not have a aluminum case to put this in, but it’s on its way and won’t be here for 2 weeks. This rheobus looks great! As we see LEDs are red so all channels are under 7V then we see the blue leds and those mean that the channels are over 7 V and this is when the fans start to get loud 
Quiet computer rox See how bright the leds are ?! This picture was taken in daylight and the leds are still really easy to see.
Conclusion:
This Rheobus is the best one I have reviewed. Sunbeam put alot of thought into this and shaped a really nice looking rheobus for us picky modders etc. It’s just so well made all over and the leds switch color depending on the voltage you are running… The price is around ~20$ depending where you buy this. All in all this is a very great product that gets a recommendation and 5 out of 5 from rbmods.com
Pros: + Good looking
+ High quality
+ Bright leds
+ Cheap
Cons:
- None
