Vehicular LCD for Server Monitoring

Posted by michael on from the small-form-factor dept.

Pete writes "The guys over at Extreme Overclocking have show how to put a car LCD inside a computer. The article shows how to install VNC remote computing software onto the server, how to manage the server from another computer, and how to use the color LCD to manage the server locally. They also included a video at the end which shows the setup process, and the LCD in action."

  1. LAN party? by milosoftware · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't mind dragging my 15 kg desktop to a LAN party, but I do mind carrying my 24 kg Iiyama around, i'm afraid i'll drop and break it.

    But the screen is a bit small for my taste. How about recycling an old laptops TFT screen? I have a defunct laptop with a perfectly good working TFT screen. I'd love to stick its display to the case with doublesided tape. But I have no idea how to wire it, or what kind of video card I could use for this. Any comments/links on that?
