You know, if you were to build a few of these, I'd buy a couple or three. 
Basically, something that can handle 2-3 temp sensors, run up to 4 fans,
and works off a regular PC power supply.

That way you could stick the temp sensors inside the raid array and run
the fans based on the max temp in the array.

(and a LCD showing the temp, usb interface, drivers... :-)  Just kidding
on those.)

You are an adult when you realize that everyone's an idiot sometimes. You
are wise when you include yourself.
