Right there are a number of ways you can go about this. You can firstly use the screens that they use in car enterntainment systems

A popular option is to use one of those screens you could attach to your PSone. Altough it requires some modding

Also some people just buy small 15" or 12.5" LCD computer Screens.
To provide a signal to the screen you need a video card with either s-video or compostie video out. Some people use their main graphics card or others use a second vga card that goes in a PCI slot.

ok so once i get the screen how do i hook it up. ive noticed people take appart the monitirs case to make it fit in the pc case so how do you keep it hooked up through s video? does any one have any photos of this?
so would something like this work?

how do you power them?
Well I think that power would be separate from the AV, but I'd confirm with a more experienced chap!
I'm kinda curious about doing this myself, I want to run a single video loop in infinite repeat on the second screen though. Any thoughts?
how would you do that? i have an old laptop lcd that i wana useQuote:
