That is realy cool!! Some of my friends have made one similar and displaying winamp tunes on it, They even made a remote controll for winamp and placed the computer in the car, heres a pic of it:

It wasn't that stable, but a nice experiment!

Scroll to the bottom, they have these in LCD, more advanced, color, and my big question is, how can I get it to show scrolling info, like fan speed, RPMs, clock speed, time, operations, etc etc and temps..

Would be very cool to mount it right on the desk next to you so you can monitor temps and such without bending to read DD.. lol

My friend made his own program in visual basic i think.. u can make it show anything with some skills :)

I thought this would be cool, new age window kit, mount of those pinhole cameras or something on a small motorized turret or something, something that just turns in a full circle, kinda slow, set it up on the backwall, and have the camera's shot displayed on the LCD screen, maybe in the middle of the case where a window would be.

Provided you have enough light and stuff, that would be cool, really cool.

You may like to try the LCD that uses the HD44780 controller .
It is avialiable here. (http://www.computergeeksexchange.com/pdt/lcd.html)
This unit when use with the driver from LCDcenter will be able to show scrolling info, like fan speed, RPMs, clock speed, time, operations, etc etc and temps..

Oh god, did you get your LCDs from Singapore? Yours sure looks the same as mine dude! Are you selling them? Your prices are very steep! Bought many different sizes when I was visiting Singapore, from a shop named Koba, costed me around US$7. l33t!! I got to know the shop from this place http://www.htgk.org/mknet/koba.html

One quick thing, how do you get a VB app. to read temperature/clock speed/etc. for the LCD screen????? I can't do it!!"Whimper, whimper"

i'm using the matrix orbital display. i bought it from jameco electronics, www.jameco.com, its an excellent place for electronic parts and even some computer parts. i've got the 4x20 and it was $90. hmm 4.3 gb free, maybe i need to use that other hard drive :D
