Building a computer meant to cope with the latest in hardware performance can sometimes lead a system builder to search for some real cool devices, which can improve that system's overall performance and even design. And because today's high-end desktop rigs all require a state of the art cooling system, installing a fan controller is the way to go. And if you happen to search for such a device, be sure to check out NZXT's latest offer.

In the computer modding and cooling technology market NZXT can pride itself with a number of successful products designed to offer computer enthusiasts a number of cool devices. And their latest tool makes no exception from this rule, as it was built to allow users to control their fan-based cooling system. Dubbed Sentry LX, this fan controller will provide its users with support for no less than 5 fans.

The Sentry LX can basically be installed in any available 5.25-inch drive bay and one of the best parts about it is that it will inform you of your system's temperature through the built-in display. With 5 temperature probes and 5 fan controllers, this device should be just the thing for your high-end desktop gaming rig. It allows you to adjust the fan speeds according to the temperature in the case and also notify you if your system gets hotter than you would like it to be.

Similar products are available on the market, but NZXT's offer makes for a really good looking device, with a number of significant features, all meant to provide support to the latest gaming rigs. The device will fit perfectly inside a black chassis and for the moment there are no details regarding other differently colored models. The Sentry LX fan controller should be available in shops sometime this month, for only $59.99.
