Taking the Sentry LXE out for the first time, I was impressed at the external touchscreens design. I've seen and used a few front bay displays and the main reason I stopped using them was because in the long run since their location was tied to the fro...
Simple to set up. Easy-to-read display. Unused cables can be unplugged to reduce case clutter.
Difficult to use with one hand. Includes no adapters for three-pin fan connections. Fills one expansion slot.
The NZXT Sentry LXE lets you monitor temperatures for up to five components and control up to five fans. If you need or want this much one-touch control, the Sentry LXE more than does the job, but it will require some extra desk space and patience to ...
So far this has been quite a love-fest, and sure enough it continues. Initially I thought that an external fan controller would be yet more clutter on the desk and wondered why it couldn't be put in a drive bay like all the rest. However the moment you us...

Very well made, Fairly easy to use, Very long cables,
Touch screen can be nonresponsive, Tons of cables to work with
The NZXT Sentry LXE touch screen fan controller is very well made, and it’s pretty easy to use really. It’s external and rather large so you’ll need to find a place for it of course. Personally it’s not something I’d like hanging around, I’ve got eno...
