Pros: Interface: The touch screen is surprisingly responsive and doesn't lag as one might expect from a $60 interface. The screen is quite resilient against dust and finger prints and the viewing angle from side to side is excellent. Aerocool did a fantastic job organizing the buttons, you won't have to worry about accidentally hitting a poorly placed reset button or some other similar mishaps. The lock feature in front is quite useful and the additional USB/SATA ports are a welcomed addition. Temperature Sensors: The sensors are quite accurate. I took measurements with an electric thermometer and compared them with the touch 2000's results. In the majority of cases, the touch 2000 was off by +/- 1-2 degrees Celsius. I found little use for the sensors however, since my main concern lies within my processor and video card, both of which are difficult to strap sensors onto for an accurate reading. Fan Controls: It works. Not much to brag about really.
Cons: Requires 3 pin fan connectors. For those of who you have molex fans and are thinking of buying adapters, be aware that it may not work, I had to find out the hard way and ended up replacing my case fans with 3 pins. You'd figure that by now companies would start offering fan controllers that are molex compatible. Viewing angles from top to bottom aren't as great as the sides. You can manage being elevated a few inches above or below, but if you are the type of person who keeps his PC tower near foot level or up on a shelf, you most likely won't be able to see the text very well. The adhesive tape that is supposed to be used with the temp sensors is somewhat weak. It works for the most part, however it falls off easily with even a little tension. Those who tinker inside their computers while the temp sensors are attached will need to be careful not to tug its wires.
Overall Review: I didn't list taking up two slots on your tower as a con since the product picture blatantly depicts the obvious. It shouldn't be a surprise. Final Verdict: An excellent fan controller if you are willing to shell out the extra cash. At $60, its justifiable, but for those of you who use multiple molex fans, you may need to factor in the price of replacement fans which can be somewhat expensive.
