As a courtesy, I used to check in on client servers every morning to alert them if services were down. Eventually it became a chore, so I made some hardware server status boards that monitor them for me (8 each).

Here in Asia they cost 5-8$ each to make depending on exact part choice (total cost including boards and components).

I open sourced the hardware / firmware if you want some: https://github.com/seanboyce/servermon

I used to use scripts etc to do it. However this tells me what I need to know in a glance, so I like it better.
