5" LCD Display in Lian Li V1000 Front.

[Rysjimmy1994]

This whole idea started when Wonderingsoul suggested that I buy one of these LCD's. The wheels started turning an I decided that I was going to install it in the front of my case. I got to thinking that my Kama Bay is about the same size and would house the screen quite nicely. The fun has begun.

Now the main question I have is would I be able to run the screen off a molex connector or do I have to keep the AC Adaptor that came with it. I belive its only rated at 1000 mA so Im sure my 12V Rail can keep up with it. What do you think

1k ma = 1a

Well here is the almost finished project. I still need to paint the Silver on the LCD black and put a molex on the circuit board, but Its all done and running.

Now that thats all done, I just need to find a use for it. iTunes is nice, but I kinda wanna monitor temps and **** like that in it. I think I need to figure out how to use Samurize

Great, hopefullt it works out nicely.

You could always just have coretemp or CPUFSB in there

I decided to play with Samurize a bit...

So far this is what I have come up with

Cool man, that is really cool!

I'll just keep quiet now because jealousy makes people nasty

lookin good

 

[Rysjimmy1994]

Thanks! Im pretty happy with it

 

[EmAn]

great job

 

[dylskee]

Wow, that's really slick! Can you manipulate the data on that screen in windows? Can you change whats on the screen easily or is it a task?

 

[Rysjimmy1994]

Its basically another monitor. So yeah I can have it be whatever I want. I was Playing Day of Defeat the other day on my main monitor while watching a Murder City Devils DVD on the other screen. As of right now though, I just have the samurize layout from above on it.

 

[Rysjimmy1994]

I shouldnt have installed it just yet, because it does still need to get painted and I need to put a molex on the circuit board as well for the power. Im sure it will never get painted because Im to lazy. I also wanna put some sort of on off switch so I can turn it off when its not in use.

Fag... I didnt mean to post it in a build log, but I think you made me rush things which is why it got posted here!
