Got a version of NetLimiter, it's really nice, but it doesn't give me the bandwidth "easy accessible".
Thx for the DU-Meter tip, gonna try it.

I only use Winbar to monitor my system. I'm only interested in CPU, memory and HD usage. I'm not that much interested in my hardware status.

Will have a look at Winbar.
I recently developed the idea that it'd be nice to see cpu usage all the time. I then figured, a more "average" information from general pc usage would be the cpu temp (I watched it using AIDA [a great system information tool], and noticed how it develops on my pc).
The reason I want to have a closer look at my HDDs now is that I installed a new one yesterday. As my pc was ready-built and is really small, it's pretty tight AND hot inside. The additional HDD wasn't included in the design.
So I bought a HDD fan, but it was 3mm to high :-/
After I nearly broke my disks and totally bended the fan-plate, I dismounted both fans and put them somewhere else (using a candy-box and tape as well as bits of string).
They now desperately try to cool down the lower HDD, the upper one doesn't have a way to let its heat go, but at least it won't get additional heat from below. I hope.
That's why I want to have a closer look at it atm.
[47° and 43° Celsius right now, with no heavy usage]. :-/
