Hi,
I also would like to see PWM controlled fan on the Musashi cooler.
Just purchase a Kabuto CPU Cooler, one of the reasons was the PWM fan.
I'm currently waiting on a new Radeon HD 5850 and probably going to replace the stock cooler with a Musashi cooler. I would like to control the fan speed from my overclocking software. Who whats to crawling around on the floor behind the PC to change there fan speeds, when software like Rivatuner and the ATI-drivers automatically can change fan speed when switching between different overclocking profiles?

Add PWM functional and give us the option to choose between PWM from the VGA card or a included fan-controller.
Replace the fans with the same fans that you have for the Shuriken CPU cooler and include a 4-pin PWM splitter cable so that the to two fans can be plug in directly to a videocard 4-pin PWM connector. I think Nvidia and ATI have the same small 4-pin connector on all there new high and mid range VGA cards, if not just make a splitter with more then one type of connector at the end.
If you are worried about compatibility then include a separate fan-controller with detachable fans. You can redesign the old controller so that the fans can be disconnected from it with two 3-pin connectors. A 4-pin PWM fan should work like a normal fan when connected to a 3-pin connector.

The only concern I have is for the maximum power output of the videocard fan connector. Can it handle two fans in the long run?
Great work jrturbo please tell me how you got hold on your two PWM fans and
if you get any problem with your videocard!

Regards
Erik
