Does anyone know of analog gauges for a PC case? I found some old solutions, but nothing that is still for sale. I would like to mount some in a 5 1/4 bay and give the PC a retro look.
 
Something like CPU Util, Temp, Fan speed(s).
 
Thanks

    Something custom-made is your best bet. I doubt you will find analog frequency, utilization, or fan speed gauges anywhere. It would be a bit tricky on the software side, but on the hardware side, it is very doable using an arduino or something similar. Maybe you can find someone here or somewhere else who will sell you a custom package.

    Can always look for a cheaper case that still has something like that and just gut it.

    Here is someone's thorough build log showing how they did it themselves. Very interesting.
    http://www.lungstruck.com/projects/pc-meter/

    He lists all the parts used, explains how he put it together, has a video showing how it works, and provides all the source code and compiled code necessary for the program to communicate with the gauges.
