hopeful mod for next box

[RangerJoe]

heres what i want to do....get some huge full tower case...and you know how everyone puts windows in their case, im gonna get come big LCD, mount it on the side of the case, and put a camera inside the box.....showing a picture of the inside, but not a live one...lol...i find it funny....you all think it can be done?

 

[rpckvv]

uhh...i think you need help....fast

[Iron Hawk]

yes it could be done, but IMHO it would be just a big waste of money, an lcd + camera could run up $200-$400, and a window would cost what $30 max?

 

[Tbird man]

man we really need some fresh ideas...

 

[RangerJoe]

NO ONE HAS DONE IT THOUGH, THAT MAKES IT WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY, and i can find a good size lcd with decent quality for like $100, then i can just get a good computer camera or something....wouldnt be too much

Sorry, too late, i just did it.

HAHA


no im just kidding, only you are crazy enough to think up the idea, let alone try it.

 

[natopotato]

that is a lil insane i think u will get a pretty small lcd [compared to a window size] for 100

hmm whatever

 

[Iron Hawk]

Hey, if this is how he wants to burn his money, let him.

 

[Ottoman]

camera might be too close to be in focus, and u'll need a light source...
and a way to attach them all together..

 

[RangerJoe]

well, the case im getting is HUGE, so maybe there will be enough room...either that or ill get an antec server case...

and i have the ability to make $500-$1000 a week at my job during the summer....so money wont be a problem

natopotato, this webiste sells 800x600 lcds (color) for like $75

for the light source, i was gonna put some white neons in it or something

 

[Nyrlath]

Where are you getting that LCD for $75? I need an LCD myself but havent seen them that cheap

 

[RangerJoe]

i found a 14.1 inch dell screen, for $30...so i might get that...then i need a controller card, which isnt much

Where do you work?

 

[homemadevolcom]

why on earth would you want to do that? y wouldnt you just put in a window. yes it may be origonal but who cares, that doesnt make it a good idea. in my opinion you should think up something else "origonal"

 

[RangerJoe]

iron hawk...i work at a country club caddying....so thats where the money is for any teenagers looking for a high paying easy job...

and homemadevolcom....i want to do it because its original, and no one has done it before.....everyone puts windows in, and that dell lcd will have wonderful quality....if i dont end up doing that...then ill just get a small square one, and mount it on the front...for temps and winamp and such....but this is my major plan...

 

[Prodius613]

dude go for it only one problem...
i seen it done...

he put an LCD touch screen in the side of his computer as the monitor for the computer. but the camera hey whatever floats your boat..

 

[notquiterite]

if you do do it you should put the camera on the opisite side of the case so you look in on one side and see at an angle from the other side (get where i'm coming from)

Cool, I live on a Golf Coures, but the only time people need caddys is during turnaments (sp), usualy people use golf carts.

yea, someone did this mod already, i saw it on ebay, big LCD screen on the right size of Aluminum case. the selling price was quite expensive, and you have to worry about shocking your components inside the case.
monitor = high current = shocks = fried components = new rig

 

[Iron Hawk]

Whats wrong with a new rig? Oh yeah, costs money
