The main problem with Aquaero is the awful mix between German and English. The Website/Shop is not always translated, information returned by the device is not translated and the manual is in German (you can grab a English version in PDF). Personally I don't care because I can read (a little) German but many people are stopped by that. I did not try to update the firmware. You can set the fan speed by cli and webui. For monitoring, I use conky, and I read the values returned by the cli. You may do the same with gkrellm. Aquaero is a good monitoring device, there are other monitoring device like TMS-200 manifactured by Koolance. You can check the review made by OCTeam if you read French : http://www.octeam.fr/tests/refroidissement/test-laquaero-daquacomputer-20050725186.html Best Regards, Hi Antioch,

Does the software work well under linux? It's all in German so I have no idea if it's even up-to-date or working with the latest firmware. How has your experience been with it? Are you able to control each fan from the command line? Can you set it so that the fans change speed based on a temperature probe? Can you easily poll the device for Temp and RPM information for parsing to Gkrellm and the like? Thanks for your help! I’m thinking about picking this device up.
