      Hello,
      iam searching for a LCD-Display. A perfect solution would be a Display with USB which fit in an 5.25" Slot.
      I searched the Forum, but it seems that most users use build in Displays.

      Also i didnt find any 5,25 Displays, but thats not the big Problem.
      Can i use this?:
      https://www.adafruit.com/product/781
      with
      https://www.adafruit.com/product/198

      also i found this:

      http://www.ebay.com/itm/20X4-2004-LCD-Smartie-Kit-Explorer-White-on-Blue-/161283684137?hash=item258d41b729:g:3~wAAOxy7nNTVzmW

      Or:
      http://www.lcdmodkit.com/lcd.html  (The first four ones would fit in the bay). But iam not sure they work.

      Maybe someone here has a better idea.

      My budget is around 50$

      Thanks in advance

          Thanks for your answer,
          unfortunately i read it to late.
          I bought 2 of them : (One for another server)
          http://www.lcdmodkit.com/lcd/U204FB-A3.html

          Today they arrived. I plugged them on the Mainboard and had to configure my VMware.
          But after that i could use them with the LCDproc packages.
          It fits perfect in my Bay.
