Ya I know Mike

I hate the dreaded PP Fee's LOL

And like I said in a previous post, these are the intial trial run, so there at an introductory price. I have more idea's too, like a fan/controller/power supply combo, but need some feedback on what size and numbers of fan's others are using. Reef's are all custom, 1 of a kind, and I want to supply something that will fit that. Not some one size fits all device. And, I'd like to be able to do it at a price even SW noobs won't be scared of LOL I've seen some of the other 12v temp controlled fan's and was scared myself by the price

You might be able to take a page from the computer guys and use an universal plug with a "matched" power supply for 1, 2, 3 or whatever number of fans (i.e. load) is required.
If the controller is shielded from the load-side, then the p/s should be able to be whatever you want to hook in.
This might also allow for any sort of supplied unit to be temp-controlled by the same box - like a chiller, beer-cooler ...

For those of you worried about power supply's, I am working on getting great pricing on1000Ma power supply's. Should be capable of running 2-4 3" fan's.
I have a couple for testing on order. We'll see if they pass my quality control
