Today just about every computer user wants more and easier access to USB, Firewire and other connections. Having to reach around to the back of the case is just not convenient. There are lots of accessories out there to offer you just this and more. The good people at Maxpoint were kind enough to supply us with an Enermax UC-9AFATR2 Multi Function Panel packed with 18 functions that we will be looking at today.
First, a little bit about Enermax. Enermax Technology Corporation was founded in 1990 by a group of young, professional, high-tech oriented people in Taiwan. The Enermax founders left high-profile positions from prestigious computer firms, bringing over 10 years of professional experiences to Enermax. The main products they carry are switching power supplies, PC cases, industrial PC cases, pedestal and tower server cases, CPU coolers, second fans, mobile racks and other peripherals. Enermax has its own design groups and production line.

The panel comes in either black or silver... Our test model came in black. Initial observations confirm the panel looks very well made, and is very appealing to the eye. Enermax has managed to pack 18 functions into this panel that fits into a 5.25” drive bay. There are two temperature probes that can read in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. They have also fit in two USB 2.0 connectors, one 1394 Firewire, two SATA connections, two fan speed controllers, and four slots that combined read 10 different types of flash memory cards. In addition there are two alarms each for low fan speed and high temperature readings. The LCD for the temperature and fan RPM is back lit in blue and easy to read. The two fan speed control knobs are also very brightly lit in blue matching the LCD.
