How many fans can each port support? I want to connect 4 fans to one port.

30w is your limitation. 4 fans at 7w each would be fine. 4 fans at 8w ea would overload the circuit. Check the fans you wish to use and see how many watts they would each pull when at full power. You can get this information off the fan manufacturors website.

If you were going to use all four ports at their maximum rated capacity you'd need a 350 watt supply minimum. How you arrive at that is up to you. It can be powered by 11-18v supply, so if you were going to use a 12v supply, you'd need around a 26 amp supply, but if your power supply is 18v, it would only need to be 18 amp. I'm powering mine from a bench supply I use for electronics work that is based off an ATX power supply with a 30A 12v rail.

I installed 4 fans 2 each on controller, the manufacturer does not recommend it however they work fine, the draw does not overload controls. For technical info I suggest contacting manufacturer.

This will allow you to plug two fans to one plug. So if your Mobo has two fan plugs then yes getting this would allow you to run two fans off one plug and the third off the second plug.

The power supply that comes with it is rated at 2.5 amps, so I would say that if the total draw is less then 2.5 amps then you would be good. The max you are supposed to draw per port is 0.5 amps, so times 4 would be 2.0 amps. It'll probably work even if all four on at the same time.

There's only one port. I doubt that you can connect 2 even with additional cables

I'm using 4 120mm fans, 1 top, 1 back, 1 side, 1 front and it's working well - even with graphics intensive operations

The ons cable that has 3 Molex spots can run up to 3 of these at once, but I would strongly recommend pluging them ingo your mother board so that you would have some control over the fan speed via the bios.

first use your motherboards fans available (4 or 3) pin ports with only 1 fan each and use power supply unit molex 4 pin conector to fan adapters for the ones remaining (take care psu max load current amp rate to avoid overloading each molex conector)

4 monitors; maybe more depending on the DisplayPort capabilities. See here: http://www.displayport.org/cables/driving-multiple-displays-from-a-single-displayport-output/

Howdy, yes, depending on the size of fans you use, it can take up one or two PCI slot spaces. It doesn't use the PCI connector, however. It takes one 3 or 4 pin connector per fan and comes with an adapter for each one. I upgraded the fans to nicer ones with more umph. I'd recommend that, as the fans that come with this are pretty unimpressive overall.

You can plug in 3-pin fans in to this and use it to plug 2 fans (2 3-pins or even 1 3-pin + 1 4-pin) in to one motherboard header. You just wont have variable fan speed because the 4th pin is responsible for modulating it.

2 on the front, 2 on the top, 1 on the back, a huge 1 on the side. You might be able to fit 1 on the bottom too. So that is 6-7 overall fans.

This switch will not support 8 fans, I think you need at least a 10AMP but you should check with the fan manufactured first

It can support up to four. However, your monitors must accept mini display port, dvi, and hdmi.

4 Fan Total: - 2 x CPU Fan connectors- 2 x Chassis Fan connectors- 1 x Power Fan connector

If you use Both DVI ports, and the HDMI at once, 3. I'm pretty sure you can use the DisplayPort to get 4 but I wouldn't expect good gaming framerates with more than 2 monitors.
