Value & Conclusion
- The Logisys Multifunction Panel is going for about $40 USD. I found this price to be very fair, the features and functions of this panel can't be bought for anything cheaper.
- Very nice finish/design
- Remote ON/OFF & restart functionality
- Temperature meters
- Built in fan controller, USB, and Firewire
- All wires are provided
- Needs to be modded for 24-pin setups.
As you can see, the panel definitely adds *bling* to your system. Its sleek and smooth, while at the same time it retains functionality and features.
Its biggest feature is without doubt the remote control. The ability to start your computer when you are in a hurry or just have it ready for you when you get to your room is a big advantage. There is also the cool factor, such as when your friend is using your computer and you get into a fight about him getting off, all you got to do is get your remote and restart your computer and tell him that it's unstable and needs to be fixed.
All in all the panel really stands out above the rest. The only problem you could run into is with a 24 pin motherboard connector, but the easy little mod included in the problems section should fix it right up.
