Looking for voltage display lcd's

[ziddey]

I'm looking to make a fan controller / display module to put on one of my drive bays. I can figure the fan controller part, but need was wondering if there were any parts for the voltage part.

What I'd like to do is have a few displays (or one that alternates if there's a premade one I can buy) that will display voltages. I'm planning on probing vmch and vdimm, and possibly vcore/vfsb/12v/3.3/5 (these are more optional). I'm going to be cutting into a drive cover and placing all the displays / controllers there, since I only have about half an inch's depth due to a radiator up top.

Any ideas of where I could buy said lcd's and the electronics to make it display voltages? I'm thinking I could just have 2 lcd's and use switches to change between different points.

I'm SURE you could find some really cheap/small voltmeters and use the screens from them.

Add some backlighting and you're good to go. Most use either 5 or 9v, so you can easily grab that from the PSU too.

Now... I don't know if this link works, but they're a great supplier of digital panelmount meters...

DC/AC ammeters, Voltmeters, process meters, EVERYTHING

They range from about 25 to 50$, but they've got all the electronics already done... All you need is to solder some leads to the contact points, and give them some power.

Also, they ship through Mouser and Jameco (sometimes) so...

Digikey and Mouser both sell inexpensive LCD panel meters.
