I'm looking for a simple temperature monitor that fits in a 3.5" drive bay. All I need is temperature reading(s), though fan control would be a plus, as would it being black in color. I've looked at Newegg, Tigerdirect, FrozenCPU, Coolerguyrs, Coolerexpress, and Ebay. I am not averse to cutting my own holes to mount a small display, but the ThermalStar displays at FrozenCPU (which I love) are too tall to fit in a 3.5" bay. Anyone have any ideas where I could find something simple like this?

Thanks!!!

Those are both very cool, and I would like to have them, but honestly they are way more than what I need right now. I just want a temperature display. Like this:

Only made to fit a 3.5" bay. Or at least small enough to fit inside the cover of one. Something simple and clean-looking.

How about this?

Cheap and backlit, I use the red one in my Animus PC. Not sure it'll fit in a 3.5 but it does fit quite well in a 5.25 (If it doesn't fit a 3.5 it'll be REALLY close)

That just might work. The Thermal-Star will almost fit a 3.5 and this one looks like it's just a wee bit smaller. (Not to mention cheaper) I'll double-check the measurements, thanks!!!
