The Status Display
The case's front sports a multi-colored display that offers information about the heat sensors. It displays three different temperatures in idle mode, and four in power mode. The "ice crystal" symbol indicates that the two Peltier devices have been switched on to aid cooling. During testing, the in-case sensor showed that the temperature dropped by 4°C in this mode. On the downside, the noise level rode from 38 dB(a) to a nerve-grating 50 dB(a).
