Whs - Server Case Modding. Need Your Ideas!

Hello

I don’t exactly know in which category (Windows Home Server Hardware? WHS 2011 Development & SDK?) I should post my message, so let’s try it here .

I’m a fan of PC case modding and I had in my head since several year the idea to built a server case for my WHS, that has the particularity to have a front panel with led bar, led points, text (RGB Leds) and all controlled by software and connected through USB to the PC.

With those LEDs I could visualize the following infos:

• CPU load (16 segments)
  
• Network loard (Up and downlink) (16 segments)
  
• Network speed (10, 100, 1G) (Dot LED)
  
• Ram usage
  
• HDD used capacity

What has it to do with WHS?
Well I could also show followings infos:

• Client PC online/offline (RGB dot LED)
  
• Client PC warning/error (dot LED)
  
• Client PC Backup error/in progress (RGB LED)
  
• WHS Server Warning/Error (RGB LED)
  
• Wake On Lan of the client PCs (buttons)

I’m not really satisfied, there are surely much more WHS useful information that I could show, but I don’t really know which one. (And since I haven’t used WHS SDK, I don’t really know which info are accessible or not).
So my question is, which info would you like, as WHS user, have displayed on a PC case front panel???

Thank you
