[QUOTE="dir, post: 367514, member: 24485"] Most VFD 2-line displays are useless in the living room, since the characters are too small to be seen from more than about 2m away. If you don't have your PC in your living room, and have it near you, you'd probably think it's useful. You really have to try it out for a week at >2m away to realise that you simply don't use it. I can see the point if you want to use it when you go up close to the display/PC, but unless you do that fairly often, you're talking about using a feature less than a few seconds every once in a while, and should consider whether it's worth changing cases, paying extra money, and having to fiddle with configuring it to make it all worth while.
