  • Fantastic looking fan controller, Control for 5 fans, Good quality build, Does not use any drive bays, Adequate temperature readings
  • Fiddly interface, Long winded to use, Frustrating installation, Uses one expansion slot, Priced much higher than competition
  • The Sentry LXE leaves me with mixed emotions, as there’s a lot to like about this product, but it comes with its fair share of niggles and limitations.Stunning looks and design are the high point of this controllerThere’s no doubt that the Sentry LXE ...
