Custom In-case "mini" display for my PC

[phoon]

Hello everyone,

 

I need help figuring out this small project I want to do. Now just to clarify this mini display is for temps and added aesthetics in my case. I was able to salvage a 7 inch 600 x 1024 pixels TFT panel from an old blackberry playbook tablet. I'm new to this, but i did a bit of research and it connects with what seems like a 30 pin connector (yes I did count them). I just want to know the best/simplest way to integrate this display into my case. My first idea was to use this:

and connect it to my GPU via HDMI treating it like a third display but i'm sure someone out there knows a better way. I was thinking maybe a USB connection and a third party software that I didn't know existed.

 

Thank you in advance!

A driver board like that one connected to the graphics card is probably your best option.  Just make sure you get one that's compatible with your screen (you can usually find the part and revision numbers on the back of the screen)!  The driver board in your link is compatible with these screens:
