anyone running a baybus?

Has anyone tried out a baybus? I was thinking about getting one, just cause I'd rather not have all my fans running at full power all the time, it's too wasteful. But I don't want to shell out the bucks if it's not going to be worth the trouble.

Im not sure what baybus is, but I'm guessing that its way to control your system fans. I wouldn't worry about those fans wasting energy though since most of them draw very little current ... like .12 amps. Any fans that are connected to the fan headers on your mobo will turn down or even off when the system isn't being used or stressed.

I installed one on my computer because the fans are way too loud when I'm sleeping.... computer is near my bed. So, with the turn of a few knobs, my system is very quiet. It requires a free 5.25" bay and a little extra wire. Well worth it in my opinion.
