Computer fan speed controller. any wants?
I am placing an electronics order to make some 12v computer fan variable temp/speed controllers. I am wondering if there would be interest? As it sits, you would have to supply a power supply and the fans. The controller will be housed in a plastic box with tangs to be able to screw to the inside of stands, or canopy's, with a temperature adjust dial. Instead of just a ON/OFF style controller, this will vary the fan speed. As temp increases, so will fan speed. Should be able to control up to 25W+/- 5w worth of fan's.
Wondering if there is much interest? Price would be $25-35 range I got enough supplies for 10 controllers on order

Other than the fan & power supply, and of course your controller, is there anything else needed to make a setup?
Would the controller work for multiple fans, or just one (assuming they are using the same on/off/speed as the controller is set at)? I have a heat problem in my tank cover and this might be what I was looking for.

If it becomes popular, I will probibaly have complete setups with fan, controler and power supply, like Icecaps 4" fan, only with adjustable temp, and with a better price.
For now, the controller will have terminals on it that you can connect a 12v supply of your choice, and up to 25-30W of fan's Alot of 4" fans are 6-10W. So, depending on fan's used, will depend on the number can be used per controller. I am looking into higher wattage capabilities, but I need to see if there is going to be a market. But also, for the price I will be offering these for, it will be well within the reach of most all enthusiasts to even mount 2 in a canopy. Appears price will be in the low end of my estimate scale. Any more questions, or idea's, fire away!

Also, the range of temps will vary slightly depending on load of fans attached to the controller.
