Wow, I was wondering _exactly_ the same thing today. Gonna buy mine now that I know it can be done Want to mod it onto the top face of my case with some nice black aluminium knobs... does anyone know what the destance between each spindle is? just so i can work out the maximum diameter of the knobs if i remove the faceplate...

Also, if anyone wants a bargain in the UK, i'm pretty sure this is exactly the same fan controller, but without heatsinks on the rheostats, which is why it can only handle 10W fans... plenty for me though: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/136404
