NZXT has quite a unique, new cooling solution for the ultimate gamer. The Sentry LXE external fan controller connects to desktops and laptops through a PCI card interface and is controlled with a touchscreen display.

Using the LCD touchscreen, gamers monitor temperature and adjust the settings on up to five fans. There’s also an alarm system in case the system heats up more than you want, and the display can be dimmed for a more “immersive” gaming experience. Sounds great and all, but doesn’t the Sentry LXE’s interface sort of look like something out of a 1980s sci-fi flick?

This accessory will cost you a cool $59.99, and it will be available “soon.”

Given the target audience, I'm not sure that is a negative.
