8.5The SoundGraph iMON VFD is a great addition to any case and will make your live a lot easier when you watch a lot of movies or just want to listen music. The $109 is a bit on the expensive side, considering that other offers cost more than $30 US Dollars less and come with an aluminum front. On the other hand, you will get hardware directly from the manufacturer which means you will get the software directly from the source and will also have a volume control which the Media Lab from Thermaltake lacks. The software included lets you control virtually every program installed on your PC. Once you are used to the comfortable remote and VFD, you will most likely wonder how you managed to watch movies and play music without them.
