I'd be careful of just wiring up 'ghetto lites' ... all it takes is *one* client that's tech savvy to know what *is* and what *isn't* a real IT rack mount device ... color coded syslog is a good idea, it's real info even if wearing lipstick ! <g> I'd stick to putting makeup on real but plain 'data' events

Maybe I can wire something that connects to the led light of the dells and push out some ‘activity’. I will have to keep digging it sounds like. I mean it would be nice if the items had an actual function. Right now I dropped on the firewall log from Sonicwall onto the server monitor, and color coded it (syslog) so you can see the traffic. The phone guys just rigged the dialer output (asterisk) to pump into an overlay on the 4 lcd tv’s around the sales floor stuff from their call campaigns. All pretty neat.
