    Default 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

    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.
