    PCToys Multi-Function Panel


    (Page 1 of 2 )

    For the overclocker, monitoring fan speeds and component temperatures has gone for the realm of luxury to necessity. Manufacturers are putting out products to aid us in this all-too-critical area of our hobby. The first such widely available commercial product that comes to mind is the DigiDoc. Well, pcToys brings us what they have dubbed "The DigiDoc Killer". We, at OCA, would like to introduce to you pcToys' offering in the System Maxx Multi-Function Panel. Nothing really fancy about the name, but it gets the point across.

    The unit comes well packaged and protected in a firm plastic holder inside a well designed cardboard box.  The marketing boys did their job well.  It is pleasing to look at and has the right colors.  The unit boasts 3 temperature monitoring areas, fan speed control for the CPU fan, 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 1 Firewire port.  The LCD display is backlit for easy viewing at night and in dark rooms.
