Hello, I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I've been searching but couldn't find any topic on this.
I'm brainstorming a case mod for a custom water cooled pc I'm planning, based on a B17 flight engineer's station. I'm planning on covering the facia with servo driven gauges for things like CPU speed, voltage, and temp, pump speed, etc.
Could I use AIDA64's display options, after being fed through a microcontroller, to do this? I'll be using Aquacomputer's Aquaero products, as well, including Aquasuite.
Thanks for your time.

That certainly sounds detailed. I've found a couple projects that could drive a couple gauges, built using an open source lcd display, the use of which is detailed below. I found an Arduino expansion board on adafruit's website that can drive 16 servos, and scales up.
