I am very glad I bought mine. It is worth the money because its not one of those things you have to worry about being outdated in a year.It comes with 8 temp sensors 4 are the flat ones that you can place under the haeatsink or on your vid card or ram.The other 4 are the round tip ones that are good for measuring air temps.Its cool because each sensor has a corresponding fan hookup so you can set fan 1 to come on when sensor 1 hits a certain temp etc...
One thing I didnt like is that all your fans have to be 3 pin connectors, I ended up snipping the ends off mine and hooking the wires togather.And there are only a few buttons to work with so you have to repeatedly press buttons to get it setup the first time.
It is extremely accurate though and is bright enough to easily read a few feet away.

Thats just a pic of a DigitalDoc 3, Im almost positive all digital Doc5's have a RED Lcd screen


BTW thats the cheapest I have ever seen a DigitalDoc5 and from Portage, IN to Florida they only wanted $4.96 shipping.

GREAT DEAL ON A GREAT PRODUCT!! If I didnt already have one I would order from these guys for sure.

Hey I was thinking of getting one too!

I have an aluminum case and I saw someplace that sold them in Black and/or Silver color instead of the basic white color once, but have no idea where that was:(

Can anyone help?

TIA:)

I got one and love it. As far as only monitoring 6 temps, once you start you can't stop :D I've got probes all over the place and wish I could put more.

The display is orange when its lit up and I can't figure out if it uses LEDs or what. But since I have it painted gold it looks pretty nice with the orange.
