Hmm…just wondering why you’d want to embed a full blown LCD screen into your desktop computer? New definition of luggable computing? No desk space? Or just because you can? Answers on a Segway television please to….
All the materials for this project are easily available. Costs are moderate on this project because lets face it, LCD’s aren’t cheep yet. I am sure this same rig can be made much cheaper, there are many surplus outlets that have used LCD equipment surprisingly cheep. Although on this project I recommend newer parts than older ones. So with no more delay, on to the parts for this project.
The short answer would be "LAN parties". The far lengthier response? "I forgot laptops existed…"
