What would be cool if you had a 15" screen that is painted and fits inside the case so you wouldn't know its there, then you hit the button and it spins around and you can play games on it etc anyone got ideas of how to do this??

yea i know, but i gave it to you to give you ideas, maybe a retracting door would be better than a flipping screen

The biggest problem I see with a flipping or turning screen is clearance. With a 9 inch screen, you would need at least 4.5 inches clear in a radius starting at your central pivot point, which means you need at least that much space to clear your video card, sound card, PSU, etc etc etc. That's rough. With a 15" screen, the problem gets even worse. Know what I mean?

To do a good hidden screen, perhaps consider putting it behind one-way glass or plexi, so that when it is on, it appears through the mirror, but when off, it looks like a normal mirror finish.

Also, take a look at how Digital2D did his screen on the inside on his stellar Gorillaz Mod (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1942). Very clever, very nice.

Maybe the screen slides out the back and spins around to face you that would be cool I would need some form of piston and rail to slide the screen along then I will need something to push it around to face me!!
