I've spend the summer holidays on a little project, namely a fanbus.
Yeah yeah, another fanbus ?
No, this fanbus is somewhat more advanced than standard ones, it's software controlled – the outputs are controlled via software instead of switches, using the parallel port. (Tough luck for owners of Abit MAX and other legacy-free motherboards..)
Furthermore the software also has the extra feature that it can be integrated with the temperature readings from Motherboard Monitor – which therefore means that the fanbus can automatically turn fans on and off when the system reaches certain limits.
