Gives you the option of displaying Celsius temperature via probes, fan RPM or voltage. This controller could also potentially be used for things other than computer case fans.
The review concludes by stating "An MSRP of $69.99 may seem steep for a fan controller, but considering the power of the channels and work involved to make the unique display, the MSRP seems fair to me. Lamptron also mentioned that they have been having issues with fulfilling production of the FC10 due to a lack in supply of Nixie tubes themselves. Therefore, there is very limited quantity available worldwide of this product. Overall, as long as the Nixie tubes are working, the FC10 is a great controller for people who love the old industrial theme and need to control many fans whether low or high wattage."
I can't tell what tubes they're using, though they look a bit like B5092's.

They avoid showing a "5". I'm saying they're IN-2s (19mm Dia). It's 42,5 mm tall x 148,5mm wide. Roughly measuring the holes on the screen, and scaling them to the given dimensions, yield 1-1/8", or 21,5mm holes. A B5092 is 1.08" (27mm) wide.

Hi there,
no way these are IN-2 tubes, they have a much too different anode mesh. Also, the anode mesh fixture is very different. To me they look like American tubes.
