NZXT Sentry 2 Fan Controller Review

[ad#review1055-top]NZXT isn’t quite known for their fan controllers, but you may have come across their original Sentry fan controller. NZXT has now released an updated, full color, touch screen Sentry 2 to blow its predecessor out of the water. The NZXT Sentry 2 supports up to five fans and five temperature readouts in only a single 5.25″ drive bay.
