Hello, I'm trying to build a fully contained PC in a 2U rackmount case. I'd like to have a built-in touchscreen so that it can be operated without needing external peripherials.
So.... I'm able to do all the mechanical stuff. I'm just having trouble finding a small enough color LCD (Max height for 2U is 3.46" or 88mm). I can find color LCD's on mouser but I'm not sure about how to connect them as a PC monitor.
Oh, yeah a USB or firewire connection would be the best, that way I don't have to run a wire out the back, then back into the enclosure.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)
And if you're curious as to why.......

I think I can make a 'Frankenstein' version that's better.:D
