What you're looking for is a Home Theater PC(HTPC) case. There are a number out there that have LED front displays. I am in the process of building a MythTV box, but I've decided not to go with one with a display. A friend pointed me to pcalchemy.com. They've got a number of HTPC cases with LED displays. Google around with HTPC, you'll find plenty more. If you're wanting to add a LED display to an existing case, I don't have anything to offer.
