I'm not an Android wizard myself, but I think adb (Android Debug Bridge) is something that might help you achieve what you're looking for.
Turning off Android device remotely using adb:

I would imagine you can you have these commands entered via a script that triggers when your computer boots up and shuts down.
As for turning the phone on, you can try removing the battery and seeing while plugged into the USB port of your computer, if it boots up the moment you turn on the computer and power is running through the USB port.

There are also a bit more janky options like this:

Or you can get straight temperature gauges for a readout:

Well, like i said in my original reply, you will most likely need a microcontroller (like an arduino or similar) or SBC (Raspberry Pi or similar) to drive a display.
An example that does hardware information would be something like a BeadaPanel that is linked to AIDA64:

Or you can create your own that may cost less.

I don't remember what it's called, but some Googling could probably find it—there's an android app (with a PC companion) to show PC stats including temperatures, etc. You could get a cheap Android phone from your local retailer (think big box store, not phone shop—you don't want to buy a service plan with it, just the phone itself), then either run its charging cable out the back to a USB port or get an internal-to-external USB adapter to plug it in inside the case.

It all depends on what you want to do. Usually those kind of displays are driven by a microcontroller or SBC to drive the display with input from the main system.
Honestly, if you want something that cheap, you will have to do a lot of effort and legwork to make it work.
