I have setup a few of these b4 for show. If you realy want to knock their socks off buy a rack mount LCD that bolts in flat facing forward lcd out.. Takes about 8u then connect that to a server running quest spotlight for a crazy realtime performace show. (Have also seen this done connected to a 50 inch HD LCD) make sure to run something that will tax the sever a bit to make all the real time graphs light up. I have also put LCD's in network racks that was running PRTG showing network stats / graphs for 50 remote sites.
