Assuming your case power supply can put that much current through one  
connector, it should be doable. Looks like there are at least a few  
people interested in this, so I'm going to move ahead with at least  
breadboarding it.

The LCD itself is $10 or less in quantity, and the other changes  
needed are all in the code.
