A couple pieces of software you might be intested in

I found these and so far I like them. The 1st one is CPUID HW Montior. You're able to monitor CPU core temps, GPU temps, hard drive temps, watts being used by the hardware and a few other things also. This is the free version I don't know what is added to the paid version.

You can download it here: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html


The Second is called Mini Remote Control by Dameware. You can conect to and control other computors over your network. 100meg connection is somewhat slow and very usable. I'll be trying it on a 1gig network in the next couple of days. You can use it for 30 days free. The cost is $90 per user. For me I'm loading it on 5 computors and it will only cost $90 to user. 1 user can load it on 10k computers and still only pay $90. Way cheaper then a KVM switch. It works with Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008, 7.

If you don't mind messing around with Windows a bit, you can typically use Remote Desktop to connect. It is free (except on Windows Server), and works very well. Not too hard to set up, either. Although Mini Remote Control looks really sweet...

RDP is Ok but there are some limitations when using it. Like you can't reboot or shut down a computer.

Actually, that's not true. You just have to be a little more creative... For XP & Vista, I believe you just use the task manager. For 7 & Server 2008 R2, I forget what you do, but I do it periodically. When I remember, I'll post it up.

Actually, with the latest remote desktop you can even stream video with OK performance. I was surprised!

But I'm with you, that looks like a really sweet program. Very simple, which is nice.
