I put together a 4-line, 2- char (per) LCD module setup for Mac OS X to display Hardware Monitor vitals at all times. Have a look:

digg - External system status LCD readout for Mac OS X

Good stuff. Anyone interested?

Very cool.
Do any of those displays come pre-assembled? I haven't done any soldering in about 15 years....
