Koolance Release Sneak Peak of their New Thermal Management System the TMS-200
A new thermal management software and hardware board is currently being developed by Koolance, called the TMS-200. No official information or specifications have been released yet, but Koolance have released an early screenshot of the main page of the thermal management software, to hint at what some of the new features are. It appears that not only will you have many temperature check points, but also be able to independantly control your pump and fan speeds dynamically from within your OS. We will have to wait and see what the final feature set and specifications are, along with availability and pricing. Koolance have setup a mail listing to be notified of the product's release here.

In theory the prog will be free, but you will need the hardware for it to connect to.

I think Silverstone is trying one too
One thing I am curious about is how fan speed will be controlled. Currently the TMS-100 regulates all the fans equally based off one temperature reading (you can designate which temperature reading to use). I'm hoping the TMS-200 will provide a bit more versatility by allowing each fan to be individually controlled by a corresponding temperature reading.
Also, for those that have never used the TMS-100, it has provisions to hard power-off your system if any temperature reading gets above a certain setting (that you designate) as well as if your pump flow rate goes below a certain setting (again, that you designate). All in all... it is a very versatile and powerful system. This newer version should be awesome!
