It's a SunPro Super II Tachometer wired up to change the RPM's into CPU Utilization. Real sweet, tho a tad pricey at around 100$

it will work with any 4cyl tach... they jsut use the sunpro because its what they found on the shelf at autozone. Eventauly im gonna get one with out the tach and pick up a huge tach at a swap meet and put it on my transmission case when i ever get around to doing it.
I've seen this..

I'm pretty sure I saw this before.. I just don't remember where.. It is cool though. The car ignition wouldn't be difficult at all either.. You'd just need an ignition switch and find out which two wires connect the circuit when turned, and hook them up in place of the power switch.. And boom.. Car ignition..

if thats all you want is a key to turn your computer on... jut get a kew switch form an electronics place and wire it up inplace of your power button.

What would be cooler than a key ignition (and more secure) would be to rig up a stand-alone fingerprint scanner to be your "power button". Or have it a seperate thing so that no power will go to the power supply until your fingerprint is scanned and verfied

How are you gonna power the fingerprint scanner?

LOL...
you dont use the scanner to check the fingerprint. It's actually a seperate device, which i believe exists for computers but is hard to find, that will varify your fingerprint before you can continue booting up the comp. When I worked in Australia, one of the jobs had one of these that we had to scan when we arrived and left each day. verified that we were actually there to get paid. Very costly as they had a couple of them to speed things up but i believe each for this business use cost in the neighbourhood of $10,000au (approx $5000us) but again this was for business use with setup and software...
Would be neat for security reasons though...
