Rainmeter, Rainlendar

Want widgets that show the system status of your computer? Try Rainmeter, highly configurable and awesome. (Better than Konfabulator, in my opinion).

Having nothing to do with measuring rain, Rainmeter is a customizable performance meter, which can display the CPU load, memory utilization, disk space, network traffic, time and many more things.

You can even make your own widgets easily, or download the countless plugins from the site.

Also try Rainlendar, a calendar widget for your computer.
