BERG connector? You mean a friggin floppy drive connector?
I've been around computers for the past 25 years, and I have literally never heard that name before.

Well there is 6 channel controllers but with only 30watts per channel. As for needing 60watts I thought most computer fans where under well under 30watts.

My Ulta Kaze's pull 7 watts each and can be heard across the house at full speed. Why would you even want fans over 30 watts?

Most fans are under 1 watt, let alone 7, so unless you have an ungodly number of fans in your case, 30W/channel should be more than adequate. I could see 60W/channel if you want to put lights or big pumps on a channel...

Either way it would be nice to get more/cheaper 6-channel controllers. I have seen a number of power supplies recently that did still have the floppy connector, so I guess it can finally get some use again. The design though just doesn't strike me as all that eye catching.

Water cooling is a different story when it comes to fan controllers especially for push pull where one rad can have up to 8 fans!

True, but 8 fans on one rad would be a quad 120mm or 140mm, something the average case couldn't handle. At that point you're probably better off getting two fan controllers anyway, lol.
