Radio Shack wireless thermometer or Vantec Nexus Multi-Function Panel for temp taking
What is a better choice for temp monitoring, specially of the RAM?
Here is the Vantec Nexus:

Here is the Radio Shack:

I supposed the Vantec is better since I dont need to open the case to test. It also has 3 temp probes.

Well, depending on the your purpose, that Vantec looks very good. Also, that IR thermometer needs to be held at less than 1" from the heat source for accurate readings.

1"?! Vantec it will be then, besides opening the case to use the RadioShack wasnt ideal either.
