It's my own creation and not really something packaged for release. Here is the relevant code for the hard drive displays, the circles are simple "Roundline" meters.

You will need these three images if you want the "drive lights"

I know that this will be the dumbest question in the history of Rainmeter but here goes...

How do I add this to my desktop?

ok, I was impressed with the voice that Google was using UNTIL I heard this one!! http://www.neospeech.com/NewsDetail.aspx?id=83 She can be used with windows TTS no prob. Not sure what she costs... however, well, you know... };] Now I am trying to figure out how to get her to read my RSS and my random quotes. }:]

I also wanted to thank kenz0 for the say.vbs script, it works wonderfully!

p.s. looks like the link is down right now, hopefully they fix it, or I could send you an mp3 sample of her reading something... can we do that here?

Sure, you can attach it if it is fairly small, or just host it on MediaFire.com.
