I'm looking for a bay accessory that primarily for telling the temperature and looking aesthetically pleasing. I use a Chaser Mk-1 case with lots of blue lighting, so I'd prefer a device with to complement that design. Fan controlling is alright but not the highest of priorities as I'm more than likely going to place things on their automatic settings. I will be using at least four blue led 200m fans.

Form current research, I am interested in both Sentry LX and the newly released Sentry 3 both sporting a nice sleek blue and black display.
The LX boasts a large 2 bay display, many fan and temp prob connectors, and tells time and date for when my toolbar is hidden in the middle of a game.

The 3rd edition however has higher wattage per channel, shortage protection, and the ability to link different fans. The 3 however provides none of the points that I like the LX for(only one temp probe though) and uses the dreaded touch controls I'm not too fond of. Not to mention its still a relatively new product with little review coverage.

I'd appreciate hearing from those more knowledgeable in these products or recommending their own personal display for the job.
 


Would you happen to know which Sentry your friend has and what kind of issues he/she encounters?
 


He has the sentry or sentry 2. He gets issues where the touch screen occasionally doesn't work, or the fans don't turn on.
