NZXT Announces Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller
NZXT rolled out Sentry Mix 2, the second generation of its audio mixing equipment-inspired fan controller. The Sentry Mix 2 features six fan channels, controlled by six independent analog sliders. NZXT made the sliders broader, and gave each an LED-backlit label. There are five color options for these LEDs that can be chosen from. The sliders aren't just rheostats, they also support PWM. The controller features six 4-pin outputs, for fans that support PWM control methods. The controller can supply each fan with up to 30W of power, drawing a maximum of 180W. The Sentry Mix 2 fits into a standard 5.25-inch drive bay, drawing power from up to two 4-pin Molex connectors. Available in just the black color option for now, the Sentry Mix 2 features a matte-black bezel with glossy-black sliders. NZXT didn't reveal pricing or availability.

But whatever, I think I like the look of the first one a bit more, anyway.
If it costs the same as the sentry Mix 1 then it will be fine. a slight cosmetic change doesnt really warrant a '2' prefix nor should it cost more... Just discontinue the Mix 1 and put the Mix 2 into production
I believe the Mix 2 will retail for $29.99.

Otherwise, seems legit, though ideally you want your board to deal with this kinda shit.
I like how they recessed it so that cases with close-fitting front doors won't have issues.
