Fan controller choices

[DivideBYZero]

I've been looking at fan controllers and would ideally like:

• 5 channel
• Fan speed for each fan at same time
• Temp readout for each sensor at same time
• Blue LED or colour LCD
• double slot not a problem

I like the look of the Aerocool double slot touch LCD units, but they are only 4 chan. Any other recommendations?

Case is an NZXT Tempest.

NZXT Sentry LX is an idea...

Yeah, not bad, but the calendar/clock thing is odd...

What about the Zalman ZM-MFC3? Tho it only has 4 fans/temp controls. I have the MFC2 and it works great.

Hmm, not a bad suggestion. The encased unit makes for a better look, even though you never see it, but I would prefer a black unit.

Still leaning toward the aerocool units unless anyone has had bad experiences.

I ended up getting one of these, five of these and a couple of these. The Zalmans can sit on the inside of the case I am working on (NZXT Beta Evo) with their little knobs sticking through the grill next to the PCI slots.

Suits my taste to have the controllers addressing individual fans. Also suits my taste to have them in the back, out of the way and out of the air path.
