Is the Arduino kit for me?

OK, another dumb question: I have noticed before that the adafruit LCD displays are rather wide, >2 inches, because they are mounted on a PCB. For my platform the display has to fit inside a 1RU (1.75") metal box. Will I need to build my own custom display board, or are there compatible LCD displays out there that will fit? I see Hitachi HD44780 compatible displays on Ebay that are 36mm. Should they work?
