SysMetrix is a skinnable clock and metering application. Its purpose is to provide system metrics in a variety of interesting, useful, and cool ways. It can monitor and report on the hundreds of statistics including:
Date Time CPU Usage User Name IP Address

SysMetrix can display this information in a variety of different ways via the following list of "object" types:
1. Analog clock To display the time in a familar fashion
2. Textual To display statistics as text
3. Drawn Histograms To graphically display a statistic and its history
4. Image-based Histograms To graphically display a statistic and its history in a more flexible format
5. Drawn Bargraphs To graphically display a statistic in bargraph format
6. Image-based Bargraphs To graphically display a statistic in a more flexible bargraph format
7. Slider Image To graphically display a statistic like a volume slider
8. Dual-State Images To graphically represent something's state, like whether you have email
9. Multi-State Images To graphically represent a statistic. The most flexible format of all
10. Interactive Buttons To cause something to happen, like empty the trash, control WinAmp, etc.
11. Interactive Sliders To adjust something, such as the system volume, the song position, etc.
12. Animations To display information such as trash status & cpu usage in an animated way
13. Gauges To display information in an analog gauge format
14. Graphics To render a graphic image below or on top of other controls

SysMetrix themes support the excellent Motherboard Monitor (MBM5) which is created by Alexander van Kaam. MBM5 is a freeware program that works with hundreds of motherboards and reports on various hardware related items such as temperatures, voltages, fan speeds, etc.

SysMetrix Features:
1. It supports Themes to change it's look and functionality - you pick the size, shape, and even what area will be transparent
2. It has an integrated theme browser complete with automatic preview generator
3. It can display the time in an analog clock
4. It can display various statistics like the time/date/memory/disk/uptime/CPU/IP address/Network Traffic, etc in textual form
5. It can display various statistics in a variety of different graphical ways using histograms, bargraphs, sliders, multi and dual-state images, etc.
6. It can draw the histograms and bar graphs or paint them using images
7. It can monitor multiple POP email accounts and report on number of unread messages and sizes
8. It can play a sound once every hour or when there are unread email messages
9. It can be used to display and adjust the system's volume and mute state
10. It can be configured to refrain from playing sounds during specified periods of the day or night
11. It can graphically depict whether the recycle bin is empty or not and whether you have unread email messages
12. It can graphically depict whether the computer is connected to the network or not (LAN and dialup)
13. It can auto-scale the network traffic histograms based on past history
14. It can synchronize your PC's clock to an NTP server (atomic clock) on a configurable schedule
15. It can anti-alias the analog clock hands, so they look smooth instead of "jaggy"
16. It can do varying levels of transparency for the form if run on Windows 2000 or XP
17. It can be fixed or movable, and supports multi-monitor desktops
18. It can auto-adjust its position when the reserved screen area changes
19. It can be on top of all windows, and even disappear on a mouseover (to work on whatever window is underneath)
20. It can automatically startup with Windows
21. It can be used to remote-control a WinAmp2 compatible media player (play, pause, open files, adjust volume and position, etc)
22. It can be used to control the system, wave, cd, MIDI, line, and microphone volumes
23. It can be used to mute the sound card, or adjust the volume from the mouse wheel.
24. It can have skinnable buttons that show/empty the recycle bin, run your email client, etc.
25. It can show animations that run always, or only when the CPU usage is high, you have email, there are files in the recylebin, etc.
26. It can show the mouse position and the color of the pixel under the mouse, A CTRL-C copies the color to the clipboard.
27. It can hide the desktop icons, and reserve screen space for itself
28. You can drag and drop files onto the trash button to send them to the recycle bin
29. It can check the web for possible updates and report on recent changes
30. It has a configurable update interval
31. When used in combination with the Motherboard Monitor, it can report on motherboard/cpu/drive temperatures, voltages, fan speed, etc.
32. It can report on weather conditions such as temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, etc. via METAR reports
33. It can display the time and date all over the world in dozens of timezones, even taking into accout the practice of Daylight Savings Time
34. It can display any information from the Windows Registry
