Introduction



Back in July of 2003, we reviewed a very similar case tuning product, the Super Lazer LEDs from Xoxide. Today, I will show you what we received from Sunbeam Tech. The product is called Chameleon, a very meaningful and appropriate name if you ask me. The whole concept is similar to what we've seen in Super Lazer LEDs but with major differences and advantages.

Everyone knows that having PC lights in your custom case gives it a high-tech and clean look. The only problem with that is most neon lights and LEDs are single colored. Of course, you could make your own color switch, but why bother? Chameleon comes to the rescue. So you want red on Monday and purple the following day? No problem, I will illustrate how easy it is to do just that!

Features



Chameleon is equipped with four laser LEDs (beams). Those aren't exactly lasers, but the casing does seem to contain a bit of magnifying material. More on that later in the review. Here are some of the features listed on Sunbeam's website:
  • Contains 4 LED laser beams and one 5.25” control panel to adjust their colors.
  • Simply mix Red, Green, Blue colors as you like with the knobs on the control panel.
  • Super bright LED and low heat output.
  • Adjustable translucent housing of the laser beams.
  • Focal beam magnifier with removable lens.
  • Easy to fix these laser beams at any desired place with velcro tapes.
  • Easy to install in front panel of your PC case and easy to operate

The front panel is the cool thing in the package, maybe not the coolest since it serves additional functions, but I found it to be very well finished. Under each dial, you'll find a very bright LED (From the left: RED, GREEN, BLUE) -- and I do mean BRIGHT!

Let's take a closer look at the Chameleon
