LCD display and fans

[Vertigo]

I'm interested in rigging up some kind of LCD display in a 5.25" drive bay, such as the ones Matrix Orbital do with an LCD screen and a surround which has some directional and function buttons on it.

Thing is, not only do I want to be able to display various system info on the screen but I want to be able to use it to adjust fan speeds aswell, removing the need for a separate fan controller.

Does anyone do such a thing or the components I need to put one together?

Well I've looked at those Matrix Orbital ones and a simple 20x2 line character LCD with a 5.25" bezel with control buttons on it looks just the ticket but I'm a bit confused as to what else I need to cable it all up and control fans and also how many fans it will cope with.

It's all very confusing.
