So, I'm moderately surprised...I did a bit of Googling, and didn't  
find much of this type of product except for the ones at the link you  
posted. The hard part would be coming up with some snazzy software to  
control the unit. Hardcoding the mapping of temp sensors to fans, and  
the temp limits would be easy, but having a nice UI to manage it is a  
lot more work.
