RE: USB scrolling LED signs

I have used these before with a serial to Ethernet convertor,

Probably not cheap enough though.

Anyone have idea's?

I'm looking for a LED display that I can routinely send messages to via
usb through the command line (I only have Linux based machines here) and
is of a reasonable wall-mounted size (around 1 meter?).

What I'm trying to achieve is a wall mounted information display that
will give short messages in my office. I want to use it as a
informational display to give me cues on impending calendar events,
inbox status e.t.c but be sufficiently detached i.e. on the wall for me
to glance at it without it distracting me every 2 minutes on the
computer.

Anyone seen something like this at a reasonable price?

Regards,
Jamie.
