ok here is what i like to do is make one of a kind water cooling pc. That is why i need 14 fans. I have the driver hardware for the fans. I'm using IRFZ44 transistor and a Microcontroller. One transistor for 4 fans, One transistor for 4 fans, One transistor for 2 fans, One transistor for 2 fans, One transistor for 1 fan, and One transistor for 1 fan. Why I like to have the 7 in lcd so it can show the fans speed and the Temperature. I have new lcd for $72.00 and I not going to use a touchscreen. I looking it using the µVGA-II(GFX) or µVGA-II(SGC) and I get a new Microcontroller. I looking it the pic18f47j53 it has 120 kb flash on it .can you use a sd card on it?

joelby:
Yes, you can use an SD card with most micro controllers including the PIC18F, as long as the voltage levels are compatible.

jaRON:
Ok I know I need more memory to run a lcd. But if I use sd card can I save memory by using Images off the sd card. So what I meen is I have a background and only the fans speed and the Temperature will update

DrGeoff:
You could use something like this to run your display: http://microvga.com/
And maybe a pic18 for the I/O.

Before you get started, I'd just like to say that your idea is ridiculous..  No matter how much "One-of-a-kind" it is, using 14 fans for any PC is totally stupid. 
A water cooled PC has two goals: better thermal transfer so you can perhaps overclock, and less fans for lower noise (just a pump and radiator cooling fan).
What you want is a bigger radiator, less fans, and the fans you do have should be big and slow. If your PC has 3-way SLI graphics or something like that, then
get rid of the fans, use GPU water coolers, water manifolds to spread the cool water to more hot parts, and like I said, a larger radiator.  Do the water flow and
 thermal calculations properly, and you'll see that you don't need 14 fans, but you need a good water distribution system and proper flow.

Also, a 7inch, $72,  800x400 color display is overkill to display fan speeds and temps.
