I like the clean look of a VFD, I think that servers would look better with these, not those boring LCD displays that many of them have now. I want somthing that will catch my eye from across the room if there is a drive failure!
Soldam recently announced a 5.25″ bay-type PC status display panel, the “Visualizer,” and has begun accepting orders via its website. Store sales will commence from 18 March and the display panel is priced from 13,629 yen.
The Visualiser uses a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and the “WiNDy Visualizer Control Center” software to display a wide range of information on the PC’s status.
In addition to such things as the CPU ID, operating system, current time, alarm, CPU/Memory/HDD usage, incoming email and WinAmp/Windows Media Player visualizations, custom graphics can also be displayed.
The Visualizer is available in 11 different colours – ivory, silver, black, white pearl mica, super gun metallic, creamy ivory, aquamarine, pale rose, blue, red and deep purple. Dimensions are W149.3 x D58 x H42.5 mm. Supported operating systems are Windows 2000 Professional and XP.
