I just stumbled upon GeekTool which is great for displaying all sorts of information directly on your desktop in OSX.
You can even add a simple status monitor for your servers by following these steps.
Install GeekTool and open your GeekTool preferences and follow these steps

  1. add shell area
  2. give it a name
  3. enter the command : ping -t 30 -qc 10 address_to_ping_without_http | grep "packet loss" | grep "10 packets received"
  4. mark “Display status feedback image”
  5. Mark “Override text”
  6. Enter the name that should appear next to the status image
