Just wanted to share a story. Tonight I was putting my system into the new full tower case, and had great little LCD area all ready for my trusty Matrix-Orbital. Lo and behold, in the midst of my stupidness, I misplaced the stepdown power lead, and picked up a standard floppy adapter cable. You can imagine the hilarity that followed as the chips burst into flames.
I wanted an excuse to purchase a new blue LCD, now I have one.
And I am ordering extra power cables.
I have blown out my LCD, because I am a goof.

I think the display's are designed for more comercial aplications. The power connector also contains the I2C connection which can be used in place of the serial connection. Also I2C allows for multiple LCD's. At least according to the manual

PWR connector on displays
I would love to see a right angle connector for the power and rs232. Or even a molex locking connector.
If you are trying to fit the MO info a small case the connectors are not good for saving space. IMHO
