Rejoice! Hard drive activity meter, MoJoMeter, is on Sale!
« on: December 18, 2003, 07:01:49 AM »
Case modders rejoice! The analogue hard drive activity meter, MoJoMeter, is on sale for the holidays!

The MoJoMeter is a analogue panel meter that can be added by anyone with a minor amount of skill to their computer case. The 'meter gives you an analogue display of your hard drive activity and is self-illuminating with a cool-blue glow. When drive activity is heavy, a red 'warning' light will also illuminate!

You can buy the MoJoMeter's from the web site of the co-inventor at www.retrosystem.com anytime during the holidays. Kermit Woodall, of Nova Design fame, and Joe Torre - electronics wizard, are the men behind the meter.

Resellers may contact kermit@novadesign.com for information on quantity purchases.

The Mojometer is far more sophisticated than the do-it-yourself projects on other sites.

Most of the meters documented on other sites are DIGITAL meters - not analogue. They're not easy to build unless you're very VERY handy with electronics overall.

This is a professional project - don't underestimate the gadget. Joe had the circuit board professionally made and assembled them all.

Then try pricing out the parts. Unless you buy in bulk, like we did, (or find a lucky surplus find) you'll pay about $15 for the meter itself plus $5 more for the superbright LEDs and components. Not mention wiring, solder, connectors, etc. Then you're going to have lots of fun tryin got adjust everything to get it to work right. Again - it's analogue and every one of these meters is slightly different.
