RE: [DML] Fan Fail Light Without Actual Fan Fail]

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

Hi Marc

This is a tricky one.... to be honest, I'm not fussed if someone decided 
to make and sell these for profit. I have thought about it myself, and 
the problem is that to be competitive it would have to be substantially 
cheaper than the FanZilla (it's a well-known and trusted brand name). To 
be done properly would require a pcb to be made, the boards to be 
stuffed etc etc.

I'm not bothered by it on the grounds that I don't think anyone will 
try. I have asked that if anyone produce it then they make any buyers 
aware that the schematic is freely available. If it came down to it 
though, I don't really care :-) The circuit is so simple - most of the 
groundwork was sourcing the right parts, and I've already given those away!

I don't think it'll be an issue - from all the responses I've had, 
people fall into two camps. Those who can't build circuits, and would 
buy a fanzilla or Johns box, and those who would like to have a go at 
building one themselves.

BTW I'll get it done by Memphis and bring it along.
