Default LCD/LED readout with a volt mod?

I was wonder if it would be possible to add on a small voltage display to a graphics card? Like this...

(sorry for the crude drawing)(and minus the power connector)



I know you can use a voltage tester to see, but if this was possible it would be quite handy imo, to be able to keep an eye on the voltages when in the case without having to take off the side panel, and break out the voltage tester.

Also if it is possible were could I order a tiny voltage display?

you could take apart a voltage meter and mod it to your case?

hmm I could, but I kinda want something that once soldered would be almost apart of the card. (and if it was apart of the case, it would be a pain to swap cards.

I would really like to have a vmoded card with a Variable rheostat, with the voltage display. That would be awesome for OC'ing. Being able to adjust the voltage and see what you are getting at the same time.

I made a voltage readout for my old 7900GT that I mod'd ..just a regular gauge type though..i mounted it an empty drive panel, in the front of my case.

*Now I just leave the DMM plugged in while I set GPUv and test for droop..once they are set, they only need to be checked every now and then... Most GPU's that are vmod'd will have a 'burn-in' where voltage drops a tad [like .03v] after running mod'd for a few months.
