I have a Matrix Orbital display, 4 lines by 20 characters. The one I have came with a bracket that fits in the drive bay.
You can display anything you want on it just by writing to the serial port that it is plugged into. I wrote a perl script to play around with it. It has some control characters for positioning text and doing bar graphs. Pretty neat device.
LCDproc is a program that will display proc info to these panels. It is cool too, but not neccessary if you are using it for a specific application like the MP3 players.
