Geeks set high bar for LED lighting and data protection with Guardian
Features including full color LEDs, effects cued by CPU/GPU load and temp, HDD access, receipt of email, instant messages and even in-game events
MESA, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- It has long been the secret desire of every custom PC builder and many gamers to have real custom lighting options. The release of Guardian Hardware Monitor and Spectrum fans by Just a Bunch of Geeks LLC, promises to turn present PC lighting into a bygone age, dimly remembered.
Guardian and Spectrum fans keep your rig frosty, and looking cool, too. Guardian strobes LED lighting and addresses LEDs to produce truly stunning effects.
Guardian's features include:
-- Large 5" full color touch panel
-- Full feature fan control with auto and manual modes
-- Animated customizable user interface
-- Web accessible from your PC, tablet, and even your smartphone
-- Download, modify, create and share lighting effects with your friends
and the Guardian community
-- Full color, UV and even fully addressable LED strips are zealously
supported.
But Guardian isn't just about the show. At the office and at home we trust our computers with the data of our lives, that if lost, would be heartbreaking and sometimes career ending. Though rare, hard drives do fail, seemingly without warning. As a hardware monitor, Guardian routinely checks the status of RAIDs and changes in your HDDs' SMART logs, both local or remote, at home or the office, and gives timely notice of media degradation so you can replace, back-up or reconfigure before catastrophic data loss occurs.
"I have been looking for a unit such as this for a while, never seen one as awesome as this ever! I think you guys just raised the bar!" Paul Wortmann, Guardian backer
Pledges for Guardian on Kickstarter start at just under $200. Throw in a mix of Spectrum fans and LED strips, and your options top out at about $270. Delivery is scheduled for March, but for those of you who just can't wait, there is a special January delivery option.
