looking for a fan controller

I am looking for a fan controller that takes up 2 PC drive bays and has a outline pic of a pc showing the temps. next to it...

I have been looking around, awhile now for it, with no look. I remember seeing the fan controller on afew pc cases online in the past, so I know I am not just making it up... lol...

the only one I can see that looks like it is the NZXT Sentry LX but the read out display looks nothing like what I remember seeing, unless you can change it to show a outline of a pc + temps?

any help would be great!

I found it after all, I was looking for a aerocool modern-v

I am looking to get this for a CM Storm build I am working on...

That looks the most retro controller Ive ever seen haha, I quite like it in a quirky way! Proper 80's style!

You found somewhere you can get hold of one? or is it not in production anymore?

yeah I found afew places that sell it, can't say where due to forum rules...

kinda expexting candy to come out of those controllers

I would go for the zalman 6 fan job or the kama ace, which i use.

Get both and put them in the same case.

i kinda like it but i could never give up 2 bays for a fan controller that only does 4 fans.

Hard drives possibly if you have to remove them (espcially if got a water setup)

For me i use a 4 in 3 unit so thats 3 bays gone, one (or two) dvd drives and then no space for fan controller.

Can get fan controllers like the Zalman (famous for dying led's though) or the rheobus extreme that does 6 fans easily and are single slot

These look amazing, how are they for build quality?

anybody know the sort of RPM this would run an 80mm fan? on its lowest setting?
