Bitfenix Icon (screen) modded into another case?!?!

Just wanted to find some way to acquire the Bitfenix Icon LCD screen that comes with this case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh1i4D541Uw

 

I wanted to mod an ssd mount inside the small windows inside the Enthoo Luxe, but seeing how that LCD only needs a free non-proprietary program, and only uses a USB header, sounds like it would work with anything!

(I would cover the ugly part of the screen housing with a sheet of metal/plastic in the small window to the right)

Seeing as Slick's version of the Icon was broken and he got a replacement, is there any way I can fake this request (paying $$$ ofc) to get one?

OMG wow thanks man! I'll really look into this! How would i use the ones with the yellow video cable to display an image? I don't really care if it only displays when the computer's on.

the rca cables can be used same as if it was external, you'd have to figure out some funky cable routing to connect to your motherboards i/o, I'm not 100% sure how programming them works to be honest so I'm not sure how you tell it what to display, I would hope it comes with software or onboard configuration

Oooh yeah you're right! So he could just setup the background of his """second monitor""" to display what he wanted.

It would be better than bitfenix icon, could display videos/web pages/anything

Much larger... but an option: http://www.amazon.com/Lilliput-Um-70-Monitor-non-touch-Screen/dp/B000AYHY7I

 

Connects by USB, so you could get an internal to external USB adapter like below to keep it clean looking:

There are tons of other options, but are a bit more DIY such as"
