Chameleon - Just like the lizard, this interesting control panel from Sunbeamtech will surely impress the lighting geek in you. This accessory lets you easily attach 4 super bright laser beams anywhere inside the case via Velcro tapes. These lights are no ordinary beams as you can mix and adjust the colors of the beams all at the same. Just like playing with watercolors, you can create any color combination using the 3 basic colors RED, BLUE and GREEN through the color knobs on the aluminum control panel which needs to be installed in a free 5 1/4 drive bay. The mixture of colors is limitless. This is especially great if you have an acrylic case. Great visual effect.
Projector LED - As the name suggest, this beam projects the image on the slide place in front of its lens. It can be swivelled 360° horizontally and 180° vertically. Installation is very easy via the double adhesive tapes. There are three image slides included: alien, dragon and a dirty finger. Just shows you the attitude this thing can give your case.
Crystal Quad LED Fans - As the name suggest, these translucent 80mm fans have 4 LEDs embedded in its casing that gives out an extremely bright glow.

Conclusions
The plethora of accessories for case modification and beautification from Sunbeamtech is impressive. This is the only company we’ve seen so far that is totally dedicated in providing “geek” gear for case enthusiasts and modders. You’ll be dazzled by the amount of innovation and effort spent on designing products to cater for every modders whim. Some might find other accessories as unnecessary, but for some, these products are almost a necessity. It all goes down to personal preference, taste and style. Whatever that maybe though, you will be happy to know that Sunbeamtech can deliver these items to you.
One common design attribute that I find on all their products is its ease of installation. This is especially great for the normal joe bloggs who doesn’t have to fiddle too much with their case. Nothing can be so frustrating than having a cool accessory that you cannot install or make to work. That will never be the case for Sunbeamtech products as our own experience will attest to that.
Sunbeamtech is young and if they are gonna continue producing innovative products and accessories like what we have seen today, they’ll have a very long life in this market.
