or a display that will give you some nice info about the current status of the PSU

Yeah, a display on the PSU at the back of the case. Sounds great!

well it's kinda like the thermaltake screen i could have bought but the 7" screen souldn't fit into the drive bays of normal 5.25 systems it only works on mozart but i would like one of those to display my sys info 24/7 under 9w of power consumption.

it's made by thermaltake.

Coming from you that sounds more like a promise than a supposition.

Who said anything about it being permanently attached to the PSU?

Don't want to know what your boss thinks about USB ports on a power supply? o.O
