Need Dials and Blinkin Lights

One thing that computer manufactures don't seem to get is the importance of eye candy. (OK, so they get the booth bunny idea, but that's not what I'm talking about.) I'm talking about dials and blinky lights! (aka blinkenlights)

DIY Life has a write up on how to add analog tach gauges to your computer, and have them report on different variables from the server. (from load, to usage, etc.)

More dial goodness from Gizmo. (from an old P-51 Mustang cockpit)
