If you also need an IR Receiver build in then the Soundgraph Imon devices could be interesting:<br>
<br>
Here is the 5.25" drive bay:<br>

<br>
It's probably not cheap.. <br>
<br>
I have a Silverstonetek LC016 case which contains similar
hardware: a VFD and IR + nice remote and there is Lirc support.
See <a href="http://venky.ws/projects/imon/">http://venky.ws/projects/imon/</a><br>
<br>
Development is going on for the remote to improve using it as a mouse (which may be desired or not..).<br>

I'm looking for recommendations on an add-on VFD or LCD display for my<br>MythTV box. Most of the relevant threads I've looked at deal with<br>cases with built-in displays, unfortunately. My criteria:<br><br>* Fits into a
5.25" drive bay.<br>* Readable 8' away in the dark.<br>* As many lines and columns as is practical while complying with the<br> previous two criteria.<br>* Prebuilt; I don't want to have to solder.<br>* Cheap as possible.
<br>* Usable hard buttons and status lights (a red light to indicate that<br> a recording is occurring, for example) would be nice, but not<br> essential.<br><br>Suggestions? I've seen the Crystalfontz and Matrix Orbital displays,
<br>but it's hard to tell online how readable they are.<br><br>--<br>Yeechang Lee <<a href="mailto:ylee@pobox.com">ylee@pobox.com</a>> | +1 650 776 7763 | San Francisco CA US<br><br><br>_______________________________________________
