I had not seen the video where the working gauges were demonstrated before I made that post. Good work! Very cool.

For computer cases, like the one above, the pressure gauges could show things like power consumption, cpu usage, hard drive activity, etc. If instantaneous readings don't look realistic enough, use moving averages so that the pressure gauge readings increase and decrease more smoothly. The mechanism behind the gauges could be an analog electronic meter with pressure gauge cosmetics in the front. Parts scavenged from aftermarket gauges used by auto performance enthusiasts might be useful for this. Alternatively, real working pressure gauges could be used via the combination of a compressor and air release valve. Control the compressor and air release valve via software controlled on/off switches. A digital pressure sensor read by the software could calibrate the gauge, or for simplicity the gauge could be set via dead reckoning based on starting at 0 psi and monitoring compressor runtime. Accuracy drift in the dead reckoning system could be mitigated by periodically depressurizing the gauge completely and then refilling to the expected level. This system could get you authentic air release hissing sounds as the measured system load decreases.

If I had the money, I would ask to commission Mr. Jake of All Trades to design the packaging for a CD I am working on. Of course, then I would have to being making music in the Steampunk genre...
