I have been looking at all types of controllers for my system that I am building and can not find what I need. I like all of your products, just do not know what would be best. I know I realy like the VFD products for their brightness, and the blue, better too?

I am looking for a 4 fan controller with all the temps, rpm's, etc to be used with extra sensors to give me read outs in side the case. I want to mod this case out, and show off all it's cool functions. I like the options of being able to control everything with externals, or use your products with out the mouse or keyboard too.
I am not sold 100% on the larger panels with the controls but maybe that is just something I will have to live with sense I want that control over my functions in side the case, etc.. Looking at something in a one bay application over something that takes 2 bays would be nice...maybe not?
Thanks!

Hi Dilligas,

Thank you for posting at the forum.

The VFD would be the brightest, but the white on blue display is still quite bright. Another difference you would notice is that the VFD will be a little bit more expensive.

The MX4 or MX5 displays are the ones that can control 4 fans. They are larger, so it wasn't possible to fit it in a 5.25" bay. If you are just concerned about the look of the size, then you can make your own mount, and have the screen occupy one bay. The board will be hidden behind the other bay. Other than that, the unit will have to occupy two bays.

If you have anymore questions or concerns, please feel free to post.

:D
Best Regards,

Hello Dilligas, I thought I would also mention the near future release of our MX6 series. The MX6 may be your ideal fit considering it will fit in 1 drive bay.

This PLED technology has extremely bright, crisp characters, with 160degree veiwing angles, low power consumption and competes well with the VFD's for extreme temperatures. This unit will have all the same features (temp probes, fan headers etc) as the MX2,3, and 5 series.

We are planning the release of this product (MX6) within the next few weeks. Please feel free to keep in touch if you are interested.

Regards,
Bernadine
