Looking for Something Special for the front of the case
Posted on 2012-12-28
I am hopefully going to be completing a new computer build from scratch soon. I have the Antec 900 case, and it is pretty snazzy. But... I'm looking for a little something that can be thrown onto the front of the case, to make it extra special, on the outside.
Years ago, I had seen at a computer convention, a small LCD display that fit in one of the 5.25 slots, that had a digital readout, of the graphics equalizer. When your music played, you got to see the beat and (sine wave?) as the music played and changed. I thought it was awesome. I'm looking for something cool like that, or even that. I've seen a few where you can control the fans of the computer... not as interesting.
Anyhow... anything that would be something awesome that would wow customers, I will consider. Thank you.

I have a Veris Elite on the front of my HTPC case -- it looks SLICK and has the added benefit of being an IR receiver for a remote control (a feature you may not need).

They now have a larger Veris Premier that covers 2 5.25" bays and has more controls -- but if all you want is the display capability, this is probably overkill.

Around 2000 or so there was a product called the NewQ Gold DSP that had a nifty equalizer display, but these are no longer available except for an occasional one on e-bay or Craig's list.
(None available now as near as I can tell from a brief search) I used one of these on a system once, and it indeed looked "cool" ==> this may be what you're remembering.
If you're just looking for a "cool" display, this fan controller/temperature indicator should do the trick :-) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999218
