This smartie display looks easy enough to connect.

1.After reading a little I'm thinking there are two choices to connect the smartie USB port
Or USB header but not both am I correct?

I kindof like this smartie because I intend on mouting it on my TV cabinet
Directly behind a 5X magnifying glass Not on the 5.25 HTPC slot.

I've been wanting a LCD display mainly for elapsed playtime.
