Examples of sites w/ dashboard info

I am not exactly sure what you are looking for, but you might try
http://customize.org/. There you will find numerous visualisations on
text, numbers, graphs, etc.

A comprehensive review of Stephen Few's "Information Dashboard Design" was
published on the UX Matters website in 2007. You can check it out here:

You can preview the book above mentioned *Information Dashboard Design ** By
Stephen Few *in Google Book Search at this link

You might want to search some examples from the industrial control. The
