I think I might go for the Arduino approach to satisfy my geekyness and budget.
I really did like the panic board at: http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/03/the-panic-status-board/ <http://www.panic.com/blog/2010/03/the-panic-status-board/>But the display is at its cheapest 4000, which I dont think the boss would go for :P Thanks for all your suggestions!
