Aspire X-Cruiser

On the right side of the case you'll find two USB ports, firewire, and the audio ports. Also included are controls for volume (top) and the fan (bottom). Adjusting the lower fan knob will increase the power to the fan you have plugged into the analog fan speed gauge. So instead of just a gauge, you have a fan controller.

Actually it doesn't have the volt meter, but again you might need a specific PSU for that.

There is one which comes with a volatge meter (don't remember which one, remind me people), perhaps the cable could be amde to fit any case with a voltometer. that would be nice

Yes I am aware of the Sunbeam products.
And it does have the above sensors but it seriously lacks in other departments.

Some nice ideas here but the bad airflow is too much of a problem.

The temp sensor: excellent idea, very useful

The fan power readout: !, , not that useful, another temp reading would have been more preferable. Or better yet a total voltage consumption readout would have been perfect (but that would also depend on the PSU I guess).
