Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
This is a pretty rough preview. Needs a lot of configuration options (since it doesn't have any right now). I felt this was the best way to get some feed back, make sure the drive space stuff was working, etc.

So let me know what you think, what to improve, what *needs* to be an option, or anything else.

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
Can MBM monitor the S.M.A.R.T data on a harddrive? I just installed it on my Dell 400SC and I can get it to read the temp on only one of my harddrives, but there doesn't seem to be anything else.

Also, did you use a plugin in MBM5 to get disk space or are you polling that directly from Windows? ie...should I install that plugin?

Disk stuff comes straight from Windows via WMI calls. I don't know too much about drive temp monitoring, since I've never tried it. I'll play around with it a bit more tonight and see what I can learn.

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
HD temp is one item. What I would really like is to see any S.M.A.R.T. warnings that may be able to help me buy a replacement drive before loosing one so I don't loose information. I believe that is part of S.M.A.R.T.

It looks like it should be possible to read the SMART data, but its a non-trivial operation. No ETA on when that might show up, but put it on the "eventually" list.

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
Great PlugIn! How about an option in the Options Screen to display the temperatures in Farenheit of Centigrade? Thanks!

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
Great plugin. I can monitor CPU temperature without leaving BM. I second the option for F or C readings! Also, how bout an image of a hmmm... a computer in the main menu of BM next to the title "System Status". I would do this myself but I am not sure where to insert the pointer to an image. Anyway, your work is appreciated for making this a better product! Thanks.

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
That is a great plug-in. I have been waiting for a temperature utility to monitor my small shuttle PC case that didn't require minimizing BM & BTV to view. Glad I can now easily view it in BM. Great work, keep it up...

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
Really nice plugin and would like to use it...unfortunately MBM5 doesn't support any of the ASUS ATI based chipset MB ( like the P4R800-VM). Just curious if anyone here has had any luck getting the ATI IGP 9100 chipset to work with MBM or know what type of sensors it uses.

Any chance of getting this to work with hmonitor or speedfan?

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
I am interested in finding out my HD temperatures. How are you guys doing this? I looked around MBM and couldn't see how this is being done.

Nice app, I noticed there is no icon in the menu for this plugin.

Re: [plugin] System Status (w/MBM)
SpeedFan works really well for me. I would vote for Jason to offer this plugin with Speedfan as an option as well as MBM. I use the LCDSmartie to display CPU Temp, HD Temps and fan speeds.
