experience with chopping up TFT monitors?
Posted: Mon Dec 04, 2006 4:05 pm
Well, I decided I don't like the look of 2 monitors on my desk, although I would still like to have a little extra display for while I'm gaming / watching movies.
So I decided to get a cheapish vga monitor and chop up the display and do something like this with it:
(just quickly photoshopped this one up, so it doesn't look perfect)
the monitor I was looking at is this one, I was wondering if anyone here has ever attempted a similar project, or could lead me to some ressources of people who have.
Other then that any feedback/criticism would be welcome, I think at 80 bucks (only 60 euros for me thanks to strong euro) this would be worth voiding the warranty on to make it smaller, so it could fit under the p180 door. BTW I was hoping to build it so it can mount in any 2x5,25" optical drive bays, for future-proofness.
