Custom fanspeed/voltage monitor?
I've had the idea of an LCD in the side of ModCron for a while.
Problem is, LCDs don't exactly hook straight up to a VGA port.....
Part of the problem is wiring and channeling.
The other problem: What would be best? Adventure to microcontroller or 2nd mobo inside case?

Easily done with an Arduino and a 16x2 LCD :D
Re: Custom fanspeed/voltage monitor?
Problem is, I've already cut an 8" hole in the side.
Post #2, you see the LCD I had in there.
Planning on getting an updated one; the other one fell apart and was only 800*600.
I saw a micocontroller-vga adapter somewhere....

Would a USB monitor work?
Mimo 10"
Proximus 7"
Lilliput 8" touch screen
Just a couple examples I pulled off eBay, either way they wouldn't need a video port and could be plugged directly into your MB's USB headers without much effort.

USB would probably work.
Just not high priority right now; getting replacement parts is.
