Cheap 12" Monitor

[Daruvian]

I've been trying to find a 12" LCD screen for my mod, but I am having no luck... The only one's I've been able to find are touchscreen, which jumps the price up to about $400... Does anybody out there happen to know where I can get just a plain 12" LCD at all?

hmm just wondering what are you doing with a 12" ?? gotta be some knd of mod since its too smal to be normally used

Its the final touch to my PC within a Pelican case...

I never heard about 12" screens, even in CRT forms... you can'T get anything bigger? Or smaller?

[Daruvian]

I'll get some pics up here soon... And I've seen some 12" LCDs... But noboody carries them any more... I could use smaller... But I don't want to go too small... But if I can't get anything else, I might have to...

Well, here's the pictures I've got so far... Can't put em on imageshack or anything... Its blocked here in my office... So I'll try to put em up there once I get back to my room... Cause if I keep using the ones here I put on geocities, it'll exceed the bandwidth in no time...

Holes for the fan... I just attached some steel hexagonal mesh to the fan and attached it to the acrylic... Made a lot of little dots... Then removed the fan and drilled it...

The fan and acrylic and cable sleeving were picked up from frozencpu.com... Can't access all of the info on that right now (and don't have the PC in my office tonight)
