I have done some searching around at the typical sites as well as a couple different Google searches but haven't really found what I want.....basically what I am looking for (if it even exists) is a simple digital clock with blue numbers that is designed to fit into an empty 5.25" drive bay and hooks up via a 4 pin Molex or other common PC power connector. Don't need or want any fan controllers or usb ports or front panel audio connections etc etc...just a simple blue digital clock.

Here is a link to a drive bay cover meant to house a Compunurse...LINK (http://www.frozencpu.com/c3p-55.html?id=5rJ2BHYH) ....which if it held a digital clock instead is more or less what I am looking for.

Any thoughts, links, comments are appreciated.

Have you thought about using a VFD? If you have a 3.5" slot they might make one that would fit nicely there too. I haven't looked into it too much yet myself but thought you might care to take a look:

One thing is you could have it rotate from clock, to temps, to song name, whatever via the software.

One thing particularly cool feature is :

I wonder if that would work for q4.
