Lightbulb Power distribution panel

Hi,

maybe some of you know about the Bitspower X-Station.
It's a power distribution panel for fans. Unfortunately it has some major disadvantages - at least in my opinion:
1. It's ugly - all this glowy uv led stuff.
2. not enough ports deliver the desired voltage. Per four ports you get 5, 7 or 12V.
3. Oversized
4. General layout of the pcb

So what I'd like is a panel with 8 to 12 3Pin fan header. Maybe a few of them with adjustable voltage via 2pin jumper. No 4Pin Molex or PWM header, no fancy lights (maybe the PCB in a plain black box), angled power inlet and it should be as small as possible.

the number was just an example ^^

and better to have some more header than needed than less.

Something like this? 5-6-8-10-12V. Plenty of choices.
Here that thing is 21€.

this thing suffers the same problem as the x-station - undervolted ports. if all had 12v it would be nice.

if you have all over 12v ports then you can simply add some potis for individual voltage regulation.
