I'm no expert, but I've wanted to do the same thing. There is a lot of info around on connecting an lcd to the parallel port to get the same info as the matrix orbital units but a lot cheaper. There is also some good freeware to avoid having to learn any code if you'd rather not. Check this out.

Wolfy goes through the whole thing step by step and gives links to sources for parts & software.
