no step by step..but the mini lcd is 5" it fits where my 3.5 inch bays are. The screen runs off 12v and has an rca jack input...my video card has rca out geforce 4...i just modded it to fit in the front of the case and have a nice on/off switch in the back.

Hey could you run that Mini-LCD as a second monitor in a twin monitor setup, so you could play games on the big screen and have winamp running on the desktop in the other mini one?
