fair enough i will take some more pics and make a mini worklog
Can I ask a real noob question here? What's the case screen connected to? Does it have a different display from the main screen? If so, how is it done? Two video cards?
I've seen a few mods with LCDs in there, and I'm puzzled about the whole thing.
Please enlighten me.
As for the vertical CDs. Fine if they work that way, but wouldn't they be better the other way round? I mean the top of the drive nearest to the front of the computer? That way you can see the disc when it's open.
fair point xmastree. I will swap my drives round when my slot drives turn up.
As for the lcd, it is powered from molex and soldered onto a connector the right size. the display comes from my 6800GS on the analogue output although you can use s-video if you have an adapter or a lead for it.
AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
Plexi is a nightmare. Got all the apertures cut and sanded off looks brilliant. Then masked off a few areas just to drill some holes to attach fans etc and it cracked.
Right down the centre!
Bloody stuff! Whose idea was it to use it anyway?!?!?
Nevermind, i guess i will get some more and then try again. it is only one panel out of 6. so far.......
If anyone is still following this thread it is now a worklog here.
