    I prefer this to either the CW611 or the NZXT Sentry Mix 2. Best looking (IMO) and nice and simple.

    Did I miss it or does the review mention what it's like to actually use? Can you use the dials to select a temperature with fans controlled automatically or is just a rheostat/pot with results read-out?

    It's a manual fan controller - did mention this - ie you need to use the dials to adjust fan voltages ;)

    Love the look of this, shame it would be obscured by the fridge door on my Fractal Design R2. Has anyone here modded a window onto a Fractal door?

    are there any fan controllers for rotated ports (like the Corsair Carbide 540 for example) ?
    I'd love to have a controller of this quality but rotated so i didn't have to rotate my head to read it.

    Might be stupid but can you use any fan with this? (correct pins of course)
