I haven't kept up with this thread very well, but does this statement imply a stack of multiple analog gauges with 0-100 scales, or does it imply one gague that would measure different things (the issue being the mechanics of how the gauge/gauges would be attached to/driven by the "backend")? Because, if it's the latter, I'd like to interject that few things would be cooler than a bank of old-school chrome toggle switches w/colored LEDs, labeled 'RAM', 'CPU', 'hda1', 'eth0', etc., under or next to a largish single analog meter. "Hmm...disk sounds like she's thrashing...*click* *click*...yup. Wonder what's up with that? *click* *click*...wow, lots of netork traffic...*who, ps, etc.*" Of course, I also want to get the clear-sided, neon-tube-festooned case for my workstation, for the sole purpose of putting a spin-n-click label over the center of the plexiglass that reads 'shield eyes from light', as well. :) "Austad, Jay" wrote: > > An unlabeled 0-100 scale would be perfect.
