That looks really nice, the sleeving on the cables is always good.

Cool idea,I want some.

This is what all fans should adopt. Only one I've seen using that sort of plug is a Sanyo Denki.

It'd allow for us to make our own length cables for it

Nice idea, but for fan controllers might be a pain, using say 7v and for some reason you want to slow it down, you might stall the fan. Still it is an excelent idea, and I do love Sharkoon fans, not great for watercooling but for air they are my weapon of choice

Smart idea. The 9v option is sensible. Should be a good compromise between airflow and noise level.

And the 60mm cables might come in handy when connecting them to a fan controller.

Hopefully this'll catch on, like modular PSUs.

Pretty innovative idea really. I know Ive had a few fans before which came with a different connector to what I wanted and its pretty annoying. Should solve problems like that

 

[Rastalovich]

What a stupidly-simple idea.

Brilliant and not outragously overpriced along with it.

Gonna have to start investing in some Sharkoon stuff - shockingly I don't think I've had any !

I just realised I can do this to my existing fans!

Probably won't look as nice as the Sharkoons but I'd have modular ones at least

Brilliant and not outragously overpriced along with it.

Id not looked at the price! Assuming the fan is pretty good (from what I hear Sharkoon is alright) thats quite a bargain!
