Turns out there is - it is called <a title="Samurize system monitor" href="http://www.samurize.com">Samurize</a> and it comes with a functional GUI editor to make all your system monitors very easily. At the moment I have quite a fascination with the clock style meters. A picture of my configuration is below and you can get the <a title="Clocks samurize configuration file" href="http://www.silly-science.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/clocks.zip">clock meter configuration from here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.silly-science.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/clocks_samurize.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-74" title="Clock Faces" src="http://www.silly-science.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/clocks_samurize-300x225.png" alt="Samurize Clock faces" width="300" height="225" /></a>The bottom left circles show my hard disk usage (top circles) and my network rx/tx. The ones above that show CPU0 and CPU1 and also RAM usage.</p>
<p>The big one in the middle is a clock that ticks round with seconds, minutes, hours, day, month working from the outside in.</p>
<p>It's quite a nice funky addition to my desktop. I like it!</p>
