im looking at doing this too, let us know how you get on and how it needs powering etc.... do they come with a vga connector then?
 
well im not doint it for a while....too busy at school/work, but my firned has a screen this that ima get form him this weekend.....but first need to relocte floopy (yes i still use it) and fan controller......

any ideas?

no the car adapter plugs into the car and converts the 12 volt dc from the comp to what ever voltage needed to run the lcd...

and to hook it up you should be able either hook it up via rca cable or use bit-tech's method and solder it to a vga plug but that is all up to you...
 
i believe vga, and cost ive seen around 60$ online.....way cheaper than buying a stand alone LCD. and it fits PERFECTLY in a 3x3.5" bay :)

edit: So when i hook this up...and im running winamp or sumthing....then i start a game....does teh second screen go off? i heard it does with secondary moniters plugged into one card. any ways around this?

Darn, I wana use my tft on dvi, but dvi is the secondary connector...any way to specify which connector you wana act as primary?
 
Yup, Just select which monitor you want as primary (1 or 2) then check this box (Mine's greyed out cause I only have one monitor connected ATM):

i have had 2 vga moniters hooked up b4, and i was using an extended desktop, and when i played a game, the other shut off. is this due to the extended desktop? or my graphics card?

Mike
 
so if i turn that off, it will stay on when i run games or other fullscreen apps?

is there a key or sumthing to change the active desktop then?
