Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system which incorporates a plurality of gauge displays, similar to those common in the automotive industry, in a housing alongside a controller. The controller interfaces with a user device such as a PC through a data connection port and determines operational parameters of the user device, converting them into values for corresponding gauge displays in real-time. A user can thus monitor the status of their machine or software applications without sacrificing screen real-estate during activities such as gaming or other productivity tasks. The system may also incorporate a front-end application software which, when installed on the user device, can control the types of output readings which are assigned to different gauges.
