love the ps2 book ends!

thanks for the link, looks like good info. i had just looked at the lcd smartie and saw something about and ftdi chip the other day. ill look into it some more.

actually i have no problem with diy, i have a couple of hd44780 lcds sitting here now. my main question is how people are interfacing them, i know about arduinos. and maybe that is how most people are doing it, just wondering about alternative ways to interface them to the pc

voted, good luck man! remember nothing is free, i want to see the final pictures for my vote!

i just have a couple of questions for you guys that have put small lcd's on your rigs. i have 2 rigs with lcds on them now (they came with them) but i want to add some to my others. i am talking about the little 16x2 or 20x2 20x4 ect sizes that people use to display cpu temp and fan speed ect...

tablets are really taking off, and will only continue to grow. maybe we could use a dedicated tablet section? if there is one already feel free to call me a horses a$$ and point me to it.

my newest build (for my grandparents) far from perfect but for what i had to work with i think its pretty good.

i really like the side window, how it is clear in the middle but icey around the edges.

that looks pretty cool

you have to wet sand way up to around 2000 grit. then start with the polish. i recommend mothers mag and aluminum polish. example of results i have had.

pretty dam good for 300 bones.

i think powder coated black. then you can play with finish textures to add some depth and class. ie. some matte, some gloss.

i think button heads or rivets as well. but i like the button head because they have the hexagonal shape of the hex head in them, which i think plays into your theme. plus you can take it apart and put it back together without having to drill out rivits.
