fhsfiremanco1 · 13-May-06, 08:24 PM

Pics of the computer its going into

tell me of a good spot to put it is the same size as a ps1 LCD and i would like to have it in the window also the camrea needs to charge so to see the lcd you will have to wait 20 mins

Nerdz · 13-May-06, 08:33 PM

How about the top? Have a 45degree angle holder come up from the case.

fhsfiremanco1 · 13-May-06, 08:37 PM

yeah was thinking of that i am thinking about put it in plexy and frosting the sheet but the veiwing area how would i do the 45 thing tho?

fhsfiremanco1 · 13-May-06, 08:49 PM

Alright camrea charge and here are some pictures on the LCD

So tell me what you think and some ideas for mounting it

Nerdz · 13-May-06, 09:18 PM

Hmm instead of mounting it inside the case, make a holder for it. Cut the plexy a bit bigger than the screen, but on the bottom measure around 1inch. Then use a Propane Torch or Some other device to bend it. If you have something else (Electric is better) to bend the plexy, use that. I use this heater thing I got out of a grill cheese machine.

You can use the same technique if you mount it inside the case, well actually, it wont be inside the case..It will be sorta Portable still.

fhsfiremanco1 · 13-May-06, 09:38 PM

all taken apart and ready for plexy when i get some more

alright it is small but i like it so what yall think

HemiCuda1970 · 13-May-06, 11:05 PM

On top of the case seems like a nice idea...Never seen anybody do that B4.

fhsfiremanco1 · 13-May-06, 11:16 PM

yeah i was thinking of that but i don't know how use full it is going to be for lans if it is on there all the time its going to end up broken if i could get something cnc'd that would look nice and make it able to be taken off easy i would be all for it any ideas on something to make it removeiable

Nerdz · 13-May-06, 11:26 PM

Small Magnets. or Velcro. That way you can have it on top of the computer or take it off and have it in front of you.

fhsfiremanco1 · 13-May-06, 11:36 PM

alright i was playing around trying to at lest get winamp on it i can't figure out how to make my tv out side a single the lcd can read from A/V (no svideo cable yet) how would i do this i have been playing with ATI forever now

Nerdz · 13-May-06, 11:41 PM

What kind of connector the LCD have? Svideo or RCA inputs?

fhsfiremanco1 · 13-May-06, 11:50 PM

both, i have svideo out but the adpter that came with my video card svideo to A/V is what i am using i should be able to force it into a lower refresh rate right? but how

Nerdz · 14-May-06, 01:54 PM

Go to ATI Control Panel, and right click the 2nd display. Click Enable. That should enable TV out

fhsfiremanco1 · 14-May-06, 02:26 PM

i have it on all ready the lcd doesn't display it right I'll take a pic of it when i get a chance

fhsfiremanco1 · 14-May-06, 03:22 PM

alright pictures of it running off the video card i think i need to take my screen res down i don't know tell me what you think hbelp is greatly needed

Helped is welcomed and any comments or ? are welcomed also

Sn0wMan · 14-May-06, 03:37 PM

I would def. check the resolution and the refresh rate. I have an older 15" LCD that will act crazy if these are not set correctly. Hope that helps.

fhsfiremanco1 · 14-May-06, 03:55 PM

i think i may just wait and buy a svideo cable or see if i can find one its not displaying it right even when i try to froce it into anything thinkable if you have any idea or thought that would be less noiceable to try PLEASE tell me

silvafish · 14-May-06, 05:23 PM

by the way, if you do mount it on the top, if i were you, i wouldn't use magnets...i dont let magnets get anywhere near my hdd...and velcro sounds more secure. Hopefully you get it figured out. Sounds pretty cool.
