My sunbeam rehobus came too, i realy dont like this product, it seems that the twist between 5 V and 12V is very small, and the fans turn off when the knob is lamost half way twisted in some cases :(
Ill cover it up with a lian li bezal, has anyone any links or pics to anyone who has done this before??
I had real trouble taking any decent pictures today :)

the random button is for my stealth drive, it looks a bit bad, but ive done it now :(
Almost finished with this build now :D
Taylormsj
awesome
Ha, thanks, when is your rebuild gonna be done !?!?!
I love the stealth bay idea. That's awesome. you already know but the button for it, uhm yeah. Maybe you could switch the button out for something a little more low profile and instead of that huge thing sticking out. Just a thought.
Nice work!!!!
I've steathed my Rheobus, dont have nay pics of the process however. :p:
it was really easy I just took the rheobus apart.
Covered the Lian Li cover in tape (to protect the surface)
layed the sunbeam cover over the lian li one, and transferred the hole alignment.
Got my hand drill and drilled holes in increasing increment so as to not warp the metal.
I also put a piece of wood under the bezel while drilling.
Then i put the sunbeam (sans stock cover) into the lian li cover
here's some pics. (from my crappy cellphone)
Note i didn't drill the LED holes, look better in my opinion without them.
Biftek, thats the exact advice i was after, was it hard to do? i dont want the led's showing either :)
What did you use to fasten the bezel to the controller??
Youve done a great job with it, can you remember the size of the hole that needs to be made??
Nope took me all of 45 minutes maybe. :D
The rheobuses are actually what is attaching the bezel to the controller, the same way they do on the stock cover.
Once you take the plastic knobs off of yours, and take it apart it'll make more since. ;)
As for the plastic knobs, they just pull off. you might have to pull pretty hard but you wont break it. :) then there are 4 large nuts that you remove hidden behind the plastic knobs you just removed. then take the two screws that hold the bezel to the pcb out.
Then the actual controller will come apart from the bezel.
Those 4 large nuts that I mentioned are all that supports the controller to the lian li bezel.
Again, it'll make more since when you take your sunbeam apart.
As for the holes, I don't exactly remember the size bit I used. i just went with the closest bit I had to the stock holes. in fact my holes were a tad smaller that the stock ones, but it didn't matter.
if you don't have a collection of bit's like i do, just take the bezel to your local hardware store and compare them there :up:
Hope that helped slightly, I'm the worst when it comes to giving directions :p:
Well thanks a lot for your help, ill give it a go during the week :D
Awesome! :up:
great job on the window, dremel or jig?
Dremel, i dont have a file, so i have to use the window edging, which i didnt realy want to use :(
