Temp Display / Fan Controller

Coming down to the last decisions on my build and was looking at a lot of cases that have built in temperature display and fan controllers. Are these any good? Are they worth it?

NOT assuming an unlimited budget, would you spend the extra money just to have a display and a knob?

Are third party ones better? If so, which ones?

I was looking around and found things like the Silverstone FP series.

If I'm building a gaming rig with only 1 video card, dual core CPU and not much else added on, is it that critical that I monitor all of the temps or is it just something neat to have?

The case I'm leaning towards is the Apevia Supra which has one fan controller built in, but, I'm thinking I could bypass that knob and wire into something like the Silverstone (or whatever).

So again, is it worth the investment? Who else other than Silverstone would be good value for the $?
