Analog Tachometer PC Mod

greenape147 writes: "BurnOutPC has this review of a tachometer modification for your PC. The tachometer, made and sold by Xoxide, works via the serial port and displays the CPU utilization in RPM's! The classical look of this external tachometer is really nice to see after the "window phase" everyone seems to be going through. Not to mention the fact that analog meters are so fun to watch. Currently supported in Windows NT/2000/XP, a GNU/Linux driver is in the works."

    Yeah drug sale mixtures for weed drive me up the wall. You usually buy in grams for your daily needs but the next step up is an eighth. An eighth is 1/8 of an ounce or approx 3.2 grams. The next step up after thaty is an ounce. But then you often go back to kilos. Its nuts.There needs to be an ISO standard for drug measurements.

    There are enough "riced" out cars...

    Just because you drive an obsolete stock Mazda with a high-output yet delicate-as-eggshells Wankel engine, you feel you have the right to make racist comments about other cars?

    there's millions of starving children in, um, I forget where. Isn't there a better use of time and money then yet another useless case mod? Its ironic that whatever drivers you throw on top to monitor performance are going to have -some- sort of hit.

    None of this will make you a better person, clear up your acne or get you laid...

    Anyone with an extra $50 burning that large a hole in their pocket should feel free to contact me and I'll give you a few worthy charities who could more deservingly use the cash.
