We Want to Touch NZXT's Sentry 2 Touch Screen Fan Controller
Posted 07/02/09 at 10:44:52 AM by Paul Lilly
SpeedFan is still our favorite software program for adjusting fan speeds and maintaining an optimal balance between cooling and noise, but software solutions don't have anywhere near the sex appeal as some dedicated hardware fan controllers, the newest being NZXT's Sentry 2.
The Sentry 2 installs in a 5.25-inch drive bay and works with any fan that uses voltage control. But it's the sleek looking touch screen that might be the biggest draw. NZXT claims an "ultra fast selection and response time," with the display including temperature readout in both Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Up to 5 fans can be either manually controlled or automatically adjusted based on temperature. Settings are stored after the power is off too, so you needn't worry about finding the best balance of noise to performance only to have it go by the wayside during a power outage.
NZXT tells us the Sentry 2 will be available later this month with an MSRP of $30.

Nice looking, nicely priced.
Feature suggestion: I'd like to see one that can also display hard drive capacity usages and s.m.a.r.t. HDD health read outs. Now that would be sweet.
