there are lots of places on-line (don't remember any off hand) that you can find Drive bay LCD screens that show date/CPU temp/Frag amount/life/etc. but the only thing is these kits cost some money in the $100 range. If you are willing to spend that go right ahead but i am planning on making my own.


Found a site for pre-assembled LCD kits.... there are more... = )
