Okay, I'm looking at the following power plug:

This is a regulated one, so it SHOULD be good, methinks. I'm ordering a 10K pot for the contrast and a 1K on/off pot for the brightness (it uses 4.2V IIRC, this allows me to turn it off if I don't want it on). I'm going to fuse out the PSU like you did (500 mA or so). So, this leaves me with the following parts that I'll need, right?
Momentary switch
10 Ohm/.5W resistor
12K Ohm/.25W resistor
100nF capacitor (regular type, I assume)
That sound about right?
