This one has an extra fan controller -- 6 to be exact as opposed to the 5 on the Sentry Mesh. It also is able to handle a total of 50W as opposed to 30W. And as you pointed out, other than using the mesh, it uses the slick rubber coating.

This one has better functionality, haha. Handling 50W is MUCH better than 30W -- the only one has 6W per channel (Which makes things a bit tight) -- with 8.33W per channel, you got a lot of flexibility here.

Just a quick correction here -- according to NZXT's specs, it can handle up to 50W per channel, not just 50W throughout the whole entire thing :P

lolwut :|

I'd love to see if it can ACTUALLY pull 50W per channel. Take a look at what electronic components they have in there. If you can't see it, I'd be happy to do some "fry tests" at the university lab :P

The ones that I could make out either had their datasheet gone or was unavailable, so there is a good chance you will be doing your fry tests at the university :P

It didn't. But I'll look into that issue on the editing side.

I think it's more of a buffer than an actual deal. You can't power 50W fans anyways with 2 Molexes, never mind the existence of one.
