Cost - about $50, bought from some industrial parts supply and not a modder's boutique. This display is serial, the bracket is metal and filled the drive bay where a old full height hard drive would have been.

Serendipity: The serial header on the motherboard used a pinout that allowed the LCD display to use a ribbon cable from an old ISA I/O card. No ribbons exiting the case to plug in.

This box is an MP3 vault, and also drives a desktop webcam. Whenever Winamp is playing, the song title superimposes on the webcam picture.

Nice. My box is a cube chassis. Oh, and do I need an internal USB if I'm gonna mount one of these on the inside of my case or what? :?:

It depends on your LCD - some are serial, a few are parallel, newer ones are USB. Most motherboards with USB have USB headers on the board, you can use that – just study the pin-outs and attach it right. That’s what I’d do (and prob’ly will do on the next build up).

Serial ports are old tech, finding a motherboard with an internal header would take some searching.

Parallel ports are almost always external. Even the old 1995 386s using add in cards, the printer port was on the card.

It’s not bad to have a cord popping out of the back of the PC and plugging into something, just adds to the clean factor I was trying to attain with the PC.
