Which thermal and fan controller would you buy?

I cannot decide. In term of looks and how good it looks, I would say the Cool Blue LCD Smart Panel. But in term of features and color is the DigitalDoc 5 by far. However, my case is beige color, though with the cover, still looks mismatch when the cover is opened.
Which one would you buy? And why please? I got the Antec 1040SX, I think.

DigitalDoc 5.
Cool Blue LCD Smart Panel.

I hope by posting this, I can decide. I am also hoping that I will have a chance to get one of them before everyone buy them all.
Thanks.
 
I bought a digidoc 5+ because it controls up to 8 fans and has a temp probe for each. As far as looks it does just fine as well.
 
I like the CoolBlue one, but it only has 2 fan speed controls. On the plus side, it looks like it comes with 3.5" hard drive adapters so you can actually fit a hard drive in your 5.25" bay behind it. Better design than the Vantec Nexus which won't let you fit a drive behind it.

In the end, I think I'd go with the DigiDoc 5 because it has support for more fans and sensors for the same amount of money. I'd bet that the DigiDoc's bezel can be easily painted as well. 🙂
 
I have the cool blue and like it very much. It gives you front USB too, comes with multiple face plates, and lights up nicely. You can control more than one fan with each knob by using a splitter, but if you want to control more than two fans separately or more than four fans total, you probably don't want the cool blue.
 
I bought the cool blue and already the second port for the fan controller is broken as there's no power coming out. I got to RMA it now.
