Using Raspberry pi asa CPU,RAM and Fan readout for a PC

For a project at school, I am wanting to use the raspberry pi to detect the CPU, Ram and fan speeds and temperatures of my PC and display them on a miniature LCD screen mounted to the front of the chassis. Does anyone see this as being possible?
I need a way to connect the Pi to the motherboard of my pc, and I need to find a way to do this in python, which should be possible I believe.

A bit overkill, why you simply don't use simple atmega?

Yes that's what I want to do!

Yes, this is possible. Tho as stated the raspberry pi is overkill for just an LCD, but you could also run a webserver on it with all the data or something like that .

Yeah I might run either a web server or network management of some description.

Yes, you're right, the Pi is overkill. But programming in a high level language is quite easier than struggling with C. Beyond, a programming board is usually way more expensive than the Pi.
@TO: I would store the data in a web server and display it via my smartphone.

Nexus 7 broken screen. Project?

So I droped my Nexus 7 on a ground. Screen cracked. Srceen is OK but digitizer not working. I ordered new 1 today with 3G. I want to make a project out of broken one. I was planning installing it in a car. Could control it via BT mini keyborad/touchpad and/or ps3 controller for gaming while waiting + control with NFC tags. But I'd need to remove cracked glass with heater and place some plastic screen on top. I'm good with soldering. Other project suggestions also wellcome. Maby anyone done any project and could share tips and tricks.

Playing games while in the driver's seat sounds like a terrible idea in every situation.

BECAUSE YOUR MEANT TO BE DRIVING !!!!
However, I think it would be a great idea for Sat Nav etc.
Seriously, I don't understand some people that pay 250/300$ for a Sat Nav.
BUY A NEXUS, INSTALL IT !!! BOOM.
Sat Nav, Music Player, Internet Browser, touch screen....what could be better?!
If I was looking for a satnav, I'd buy a second nexus...

Wich is the best tablet to use with an HTC one?

My friends, I'm thinking that I really need a tablet to complement my SGN2. I don't want to close any option before I hear from you. I'm an advance user, and I'm looking for something that really gives me more that my sgn2. I used to have an iPad I sold it because only my children were using it to play around, but since the anounncement that office 365 was out in USA, I'm thinking to get me an iPad mini. Another choice might be an w8 tablet, since I want it only to get my job done (lots of reports and presentation, microsoft dominates my working environment). I was thinking also to let go my SGN2, get an HTC one and buy a note 10'. What do you think?? Please help me out here.

Or wait a month or two for a probable announcement of the next Nexus 7 Unless you need something bigger in which case a new Nexus 10 should make it's way to announcement soon as well~

wait for the new N7 or N10
if you're getting an android tablet might aswell be a nexus

But what do you think of the other tablets?, I want it to use it on my job, advance tools for powerpoint and advance tools for excell... on Android I can't seems to find somethingh as powerfull as the office suite.
I've allready have an apple account with several software bought, maybe w8 is a good choice but it's a new system and just to have to buy all over again just doesn't seems right.

Well it's weird then that you're asking on here what NON-Android/HTC device to get considering you're already leaning way towards an Apple device anyway for the above stated reasons

Thats beacause I don't know everything and maybe there is something that I'm missing, don't you think?

It's a work based tablet. You shouldn't be buying a tablet for work though

I am using galaxy note 8.0 and HTC one. You just can't get wrong with the combination.
I used S4 which I think was really laggy and half of the memory was taken by Samsung apps.HTC one get the dev edition from HTC USA online store.
It is amazing piece of equipment.

Sure, I'll use it only when I feel creative. I also have an Lenovo X220 Tablet and is really to big and heavy to carry arround. That's my main working device, but on the go, sometimes y feell that my SGN2 just doesn't help me all the way. I'll take a look at that Dell. thank you!!

Nexus 7 hands down. Love mines from day 1.

Ps3 hardware help(kinda)

Seeing as most PS3 sites give me no response I figured I'd post here and see if the great xda community could help...
Well I bought a phat PS3 from a yard sale for 25 bucks, guys said it wouldn't take disks, i figure hell the disk drives out I have a spare why not. I take it home disassembled it and find the the guy broke the clamp for the ribbon cable to the mother board. So now where I'm at is how do I Gerry rig this cable into place, where it will hold a constant connection, any ideas?
O also I tried running a firmware update and am now stuck in a boot loop of update because it can't find the drive...FAIL ON MY BEHALF :banghead:

Look for another parts PS3 on eBay or Craigslist. The chances that part will be broke again is slim.

Good idea but the reason I'm trying to fix this one is because it backwards compatible and plays ps2 games, I am actually in the process of trying something that might work

Neither of those threads are relevant. One of them is about games and the other is about completely different tech.
IATL.

I would say to either solder it or get someone to, not impossible

Yep it has twice, and has rlod before when playing uncharted 2. Since the case delete and addition of two fans (drilled holes on bottom below main ps3 fan and mounted a fan to push air to it) it has never overheated again
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Damn right Lol, my ps3 that was thrown at the ground is pieced together. its an 80 gig phat, the housing is from a 60 gig, disk drive is a refurb off eBay, the power PCB(eject and power button and LEDs) was taken from a 60 gig Lol and everything else is original from the console, I find it amazing she threw it at the ground with a disk in it and the only thing that broke was the power PCB Lol the disk drive was borked because the original owner took it apart to get his game out and lost the laser doh

I've found that most usb devices work on Raspbian, when you buy the Pi pay the extra 5 bucks for the "noobs" micro sdcard. It is great for people just starting out, has all the OS choices on it and does everything for you and it's only 5 bucks.

Or just get a blank SD card and download noobs and write it to the card.
