I have been using this little piece of software for some months now and I couldn't be happier.

My computer case is very minimalistic and doesn't have any lights. It bothered me not knowing if my computer was doing something.

I searched and tried many softwares, but none satisfied me fully, until I found this one.

It is one executable file with 2,93Mb of size. No need to install, just run the software and set it up. Runs on 32 and 64 bit Windows and use around 4,5 Mb of RAM. Meters update frequency: 50ms, 100ms, 200ms, 500ms and 1 sec.

Hope you like it.
