Case maker NZXT has launched a new accessory in the form of fan controller Sentry 2. What makes Sentry 2 different from the competition is that you will not find any knobs on the front of the 5.25 unit. Instead there is a large touchscreen that is used for setting the fan speed and showing various temperatures. The controller supports up to five different fans and can be used for manual settings or automatically setting the fan speed depending on the temperature.
