Virtual Hideout heeft eens gekeken naar de Thermal Monitoring Drive Rack van Enermax. Dit apparaatje is in feite een 5.25" harddrive rack met 2 thermal sensors ingebouwd, die je op willekeurige plaatsen in je PC kunt aanlsuiten. Het design zit verder ook handig in elkaar, want het is mogelijk om er eenvoudig 80mm fans aan te bevestigen. Vast en zeker een leuk hebbedingetje voor de gemiddelde tweaker :
Now with this unit comes a few possibilities for uses. The unit slides perfectly into a 5.25" bay in any computer and is almost as long as an average cd-rom drive (you'll see that in a minute). Now, besides monitoring any piece of hardware in your computer, this unit can also act as a couple of other things . You can use it to move some more air in your case by putting either 1 or 2 80mm fans right into the rack itself. There is little stubs that are specifically made to house a couple 80mm fans. Its a screwless way to do it since they snap right onto the tabs. Obviously you wouldn't put two fans in this rack if the rack was jammed between two cd-rom sized drives since it wouldn't move any air at all and probably burn out your fans. But if it was in the bottom 5.25" bay ,and had a little breathing room under it, it would do nicely to move some air around. It wont exhaust the air just move it around. So keep that in mind if you "think" you're gonna cool your machine with this.
If you've got a open 5.25" bay then get this unit! This things will spruce up any computer to look like you've got some sensitive internals and should impress the friends alittle along the way.Plus, It's as functional as it is cool. Probably the most used setup for the two thermal sensors will be your CPU and your Video Card. But, there's endless possibilites. one for cpu and one for ambient case temp, one for video and one for hard drive,etc,etc.....
I highly recommend this unit for its quality build, functionality,reasonable price (a mere $19), and just plain good looks.
