3.5" LCD display for Winamp, etc?

[TheRapture]

Title says it all....I want to be able to display current track info, etc., in my SFF rig. I know there has got to be one out there that will do what I need. Being an LCD newb as far as Winamp or system monitoring goes....point me in the right direction....

Being able to report temps would be a bonus as well....

3.5? You want to mount it in a floppy bay? Are you looking for a text display or graphic?

Well I know bit-tech.com has a lcd mod using a PSone lcd, but im not sure the dimensions of the lcd. I do remember, however, that they were able to rig it so it would display winamp titles and stuff. the problem is since they redesigned their website i cant get it because they didnt complete their archives sorry man

edit: heres what i got for you

the link to the actual mod : http://bit-tech.net/article/136/ is a dead link anyone got the new link, i tried searching and couldnt find it anywhere

the new link is suppose to be up soon because they redesigned their website so they havent completely moved all the files over, id expect them to move it over.

The CFA-631 fits a 20x2 into a 3.5" bay:

i need to practice my soldering more and then i think i will do this mod or if i get lucky buy a pre-moded color screen, thats exactly what i want it for. winamp, konfabulator and all that other sys monitoring crap-ola and then mount in a cool plexi case.
