Form what I could discern reading the article it's actually a modified version of the SP120 to be better suited for use with the rad. I wonder if they will sell them separate for those wanting another for push/pull.

Yeah, we do use contract manufacturers. You have to, our industry just isn't big enough to own our own Foxconn-sized plant. But to say all we do is make warranties and stickers - man, it's just completely dishonest.
I'm sorry if I came across harsh here, but when I read comments like that I wonder why I stay up until 2am on conference calls with our manufacturers in around the world and then get up at 6am to go to work the next day and fix something as small as whether or not the fan controller on some future case can auto-sense temperature and adjust accordingly for the price point we're trying to hit.
Please give credit where it's due. A lot of people buy something off the shelf, slap a sticker on it, and call it a day. We don't do that.
It's one thing if you don't like our products. That I can respect. But don't say we're lazy or that we're just packaging somebody else's work. If you saw the raw stuff we get before we spend months (or sometimes years) improving it for the market, you'd understand why we do the things we do and why our products are more expensive than the off-the-shelf stuff you can find.
