I'm glad they make them out of glass. About 15 years ago I was driving my parents in my mums car. A artic blew a tyre just in front and to the side of me sending rubber and metal at the screen. I...

If you have the palm already, I would certainly have a play with it, see what you think. Its a good way to try out software such as smartie to see if you want to go down the lcd route

I played with this, and it works kinda. Reasons I would not use it particularly...

1. A LCD is a pretty cheap purchase (Ebay is a good source, lots of hong kong places sell them cheap and...

Yep I have.... The homebrew hammond box enclosure.

And if you start with a moderately quiet HD in the first place this method is practically silent. The idea origionally came from a poster named...

I think its a good idea as well. Especially if someone in the Glagsow area has a garage full of high tec workshop equipment.

However I see issues in that

ok. no piccies I am afraid. But a list of what you would do.

1. Cut the standard (rectangular) plug off of the usb hub. Do this about some way up the cable do that you have some cable left to...

I am still a noob when it comes to some stuff (my recent acrylics work went wrong in a way I haven't even had the courage to post in my work log!), so I know how it feels :)

You seem to have got...

I take it you mean the 10 pin header that attaches to the board internally?

If so you can buy a cheap USB hub and obtain the header from an electronic supply company. Snip the rectangular plug...

I know you are against a screen, but have you considered one that displays HTPC info, such as what your watching or what song is playing.

Just built one into my current project

Confucious say:

1) When presented with a technical problem to solve, always look at the stuff you have already rather than bamboozle yourself with all of the options available to you from...

You can add your own remote sensors to MBM by using a SMB connected temperature sensor such as the Maxim 1668.... Needs some PCB skills, but even a learner like me managed it.

What you need is solder and flux. Preferably some flux cleaner as well,

If you clean the contacts, then flux the area. When you heat the remaining solder it will magically seperate onto the...

Nope, the lamp is part of the lcd unit. Not part of the board.

The board contains only the elctronics for the psone screen. The controller and the inverter. The lamp and LCD are all held in a...

On the power supply side...

You can do it with a psone screen. I have seen pictures on Bit tech. You can get hold of extension cables that fit between the screen and the mobo.

The DIY projector companies sell the cable to...
