Well after a few more stops at memory express than planned i have managed to find a "usb 2.0 to IDE" adapter kit that will power my fan controller.this means only one power cord to the wall and cuts down the wires to the controller down to 1 aswell..... all said and done for the 4 fans, controler and power the cost was just under $200... when its up and running i will add pics with a better description of what the components are... will have 2 in and 2 out fans all of which are 12 cm diameter with a running speed of 1200 rpm per fan...

The controler is temp sensitive and will control each fan independantly, to its temp sensor...


As for those of you that said it couldn't be with a computer setup......KmyA its done and for less than what 2 tunze "aquarium" fans would cost. READ A BOOK before you shoot down someone elses idea....
