Fuses cost money, and it would make the pcb larger, wich costs more money.

I think vantec was optimistic in their product . "Oh yeah, they're gonna connect ONE fan per channel , one of those 3W pc fans..." . Right. Of course, some people like to have it bigger and better, and stick lots'o'powerful fans there and the thing just doesnt work that way. Want something decent... DIY.

I had a 3Amp PWM going but something wasnt right, i just couldnt get the exact timing with the 555 and the darn thing just didnt ajust the time delta. Because i got the Vantec, its "abandoned" in one of my drawers... maybe i should give it another try.
