A pair of variations based on my Classic CPU Meter.
Displays the current CPU and RAM usage.
Design based on the gauges by the Classic Instruments Co.
Added inspiration from Shadowlines CPU Meter.

02-06-11 SUPER SIZED VERSION IS HERE!! Finished packing them up at last. They can be found on dA at Xtra Large CPU-Ram Meters.
The large size is approx 400 x 300px, 4 times larger than the current large size! (Or double. Depending on your school of maths!!)

Further to a personal request
I've made some Brass Effect Dials instead of the original Chrome Effect with "clean" White and Ivory faces. You'll need to rename and replace the original images in the folder of the gadget of your choosing. Path in Windows 7 is C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets.

Updates!!

23-05-11 19:00 BST. Replaced rims.

18-05-11 14:00 BST. Improved Hands and Hubs.

Enjoy!!

That's nice and creative, but some parts of it seem a bit low res :S
But it's still damn nice! :)

I've got stuck on the 96 dpi mode!

The hands are my weakest link (I think!) although the preview hands are not the ones in the gadget file. SWMBO had put me under "starters orders" so I grabbed the first pair that fitted the image size. The rims could do with improving as well, but my own versions are covered in verdigris and rust. So the "roughness" fits in very well. The originals @ 4x the size look good, but even using smart object to get them down to 25% size "loses something".

But thanks for the praise anyway.(???) I think :) :) :) (critique is always good!)

Now it does looks more sexy, stll the thing (tubes?) is a bit low-res, but if i was to rate your work, I'd give a 8/10 because of the originality.
