    Default LED Readouts/LCD Screens, Etc., etc...

    I was just wondering if anyone was planning a guide on connecting LCD screens, or a tutorial on how to get an LED Readout you stick on the front of the computer to display information you want, like CPU temp or something.

    I was looking at a few drive bay readouts, but most of them are for fan setupts anyway, and I don't know how much good that would really do in a watercooled system.

    I've also seen where people installed small LCD screens and used the OS to send specific text to it like GPU Temp, CPU Temp, RAM Temps, Voltages, Case Temp, and even water temps in a watercooled system. I think it's a pretty damn cool way to get things displayed and I'd love a tutorial on that.

    As long as I'm in the LED readout mode, a tutorial on installing a flat screen monitor in your side mounted window would be nice, too!

    Thanks!

    I have a few amazing lcd screens for sale - a leftover from an old BF and projects we never got to...they were very expensive (like $27! don't ask...) but now I just want to sell. Can I do that on here?

    I have tonnes of stuff like 11v fans with guards and switches and connectors. If not - is there somewhere else I should post them? I wasn't planning this as a selling post I was just reading all the great info and came across this and remembered those 2 huge bags of components in my closet...lol.


    BTW - Hi to all. great posts.
