    To go along iwth his request... what about them calendars I've seen on some people's desktops. It seems to blend in really well with the wallpaper and such.

    If you don't mind configuring it, CoolMon is pretty nice. Lots and lots of plugins. :cool:

    Also... GHoosdum as your desktop?

    I've just downloaded CoolMon but don't know how to configure it like Prof has done above, nor could I find a guide at CoolMon's site.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks

    I'm a little embarassed to admit this, since I'm the one who mentioned CoolMon, but what I should have suggested was Samurize. It's the only one I have any personal experience with. You can find Samurize via the link in Black Hawk's post. It is similar in function and appearance to CoolMon.

    For temperatures, you'll need to install Motherboard Monitor. It's been a little while since I used it, but I think once they're both installed it's pretty easy to set up temps. Coolmon uses Motherboard Monitor to display the temps.

    Alpha-Omega is the name of the book club that GH and I run. We meet on the first Sunday of the month.

    Spike Speigel is my Desktop this month (I usually choose a more 'leggy' anime character). It is a coincidence that GH uses Spike as his avatar.

    Spike rocks, but I see myself as more of a Jet kinda guy :D

    From what I have seen from samurize it requires MBM to have the hardware monitoring features... another programI gotta get and run in the background :P I'm already using 400MB of physical memory with all the crap I run right now :shakehead
