Another Fanmaster review... photos & a video! :) *** UPDATED ***

[mechBgon]

Ok, Naruto gave an excellent feature/functionality description in his thread here, so I'm following up with photos and a video clip of mine, check it out here!



UPDATE: I was down at work fiddling with the system today (I'm on vacation this week, so naturally I go down to the office and mod my computer, what could be more natural? ). I started the system with just one thermal sensor hooked up, and the Fan Master seemed to have an Issue with that, or else it's malfunctioning. It ramped its temperature reading for the sensor up to about 46C in a matter of seconds, which set off the alarm (I'd set it for 45C on that channel).

~ That's odd...

I also had only one RPM-sensing fan line hooked up to it at that point. I'll do some experimentation and see if the unit is prone to freaking out with just one sensor, or what. But for now, it's outta there.

Mech, with your Lian-Li, I think it looks much better without the lettering showing.

So, it sounds like you're pretty happy with this puppy so far!

I agree, with the lettering hidden it looks like part of the case

I have a couple of those snazzy Lian-Li aluminum flip-down covers coming for the two optical drives so they blend right in (looks like this except black). They were $11 at Coolerguys so I said "why not." I have another small mod planned too, which is to add some LEDs in conical chromed holders like this, where the big one's Power, the next two are SCSI1 and SCSI2 activity LEDs, and the last one's IDE activity. I have the LEDs and holders coming.

Actually, after seeing it in person, I almost feel like the fan controller is too wild-looking for my purposes, but we'll see if it grows on me
