Fractal Announces New Fan Controller Adjust 108
Fractal Design today announced a new fan controller that enables enthusiasts to adjust the speed of case fans.
The "Adjust 108" integrates six sliders that control up to six fans and a maximum level of 36 watts per fan.
The manufacturer focused on a minimalist styling of the 5.25-inch panel, but still found space to integrate LEDs to show fan speeds. White indicates a low RPM and blue a high RPM. The LEDs also support a two-level intensity jumper.
Fractal Design said that it will begin shipping the Adjust 108 in the beginning of September of this year. The suggested retail price is $34.95.

draphius amperage is also a factor and it doesnt say in the article. imo if it cant handle a delta fan it doesnt belong in a computerReply -
becomecooler I wish they also integrated a duel 2.5" hdd/ssd mount in the back of these units to better use the space. Great look though!Reply -

Not sure why a fan controller makes news. Though if it won't make my fans sing a whiny tune like the POS overpriced sunbeam unit I have now, I would buy one. -
