-Intro-
Enermax. Sounds familiar doesn't it? It should. They are the ones that make some of the best power supplies for computers to date but this isn't all they do. They have an entire line of computer accessories and this is just one of them. The Enermax Temperature Monitor.
-Specs-
Fits in a 5.5 drive bay
two LCD screens showing the temperature in Celsius
holds either two 80mm fans or one 3.5inch hard drive
battery operated
comes with screws/labels
There you have it. This is a pretty big sucker for no more than it does (tell the temperature of two separate devices) but to make up for it, they gave you the option to either use it as a mounting for two 80mm fans or even a drive rack for your 3.5inch hard drive. Another interesting thing I found when I opened the box is that it's battery operated. You can take this as a good thing or a bad thing.
I think of it as a good thing the more I look at it. You won't have to deal with any more wires in your case than you have to and you can also detach it from the face plate so its a portable temperature monitor. Pretty cool. If you are into case modding you can even mount it on the side of your case or something. Now, on the other hand, they are batteries so after time they will run out and you'll have to buy more.
One last thing worth mentioning is something I just now found in the box. I tipped it upside down to make sure I wasn't missing anything and here comes a little piece of paper. I turn it over and I see that they are labels for the LCD screens. Pretty nifty. They have two of each and are labeled "Power", "H.D.D" and "CPU."
-Pictures-
Here are a couple pictures to let you see what it looks like. The faceplate is easily detachable from the drive rack. The LCD screens are also detachable (from the faceplate) but they require a tad more effort. You can also see it comes with screws and batteries so you are ready to go right off the bat. There's a piece of plastic that covers the LCD screens so that they don't get scratched while in the box. These easily come off with a slight tug.
Here's the package and all it's contents.
Here it is again from the front.
A quick peak at the LCD. Notice the (removable) plastic on the LCD screen.
Here you can see an 80mm fan in place.
