What fits in a 5 1/4 drive bay ... can control your fans and do allot more then I can say right now ( sorry about the picture, but it is not supposed to be released yet! But thought you all might want to know.) Don't tell I sent this. Look at the top LCD

 
Looks like a std 633 but in a 4x20 config...

I have a truly unique CF display...in fact they don't ever plan on making them...here is a snap of it...

And since you have already gone and posted a pic of it, what makes it better than the 633 other than its larger...I know that they CrystalControl 2 is still in beta, so I am guessing this LCD won't come out until its in final release... :confused:

C'mon, now I am curious :p
 
i know what that is! thats the CF 635! wouldnt midn getting one myself

The 631 has a "mystery connector" on the back, this one has two! The buttons are basically the same as the 633, Did you notice what is on the left of the display?

These are pretty neat eh? I don't even have the protective plastic off of it yet. Moving it to a new case in a couple of days so I don't want to take a chance on scratching it. CC2 has all sorts of neat new goodies that a going to make the "modders" jump for joy!

Any idea when this new LCD will be for sale?

I have one in my system and love it! (No I don't work for CF, I just beta test some of their software...)

I have one of the back connectors utilized ...;) with ...
 
Kinda lame that you have to have a regular USB port inside your case (on an addon card most likely) to hide the wire properly. Should have been made with a mobo usb linkage thingamajobber.

You CAN use an internal usb cable that connects directly to your M/b or a cable that connects to a standard usb connectors.


One of the other beta testers mounted his in an external drive case which i though was a really neat idea.

Agreed. But it shouldnt be too hard to rewire one if you have the right parts. :cool: Still, they should come with USB header cables for teh mobo.

^^look above. Mods please delete this post...

Why would my post need deleting? This isn't a plug for their product is it? My post is perfectly fine. If this is a thread that's a disguised plug, that isn't fine and the thread needs deleting :p

I think he was refering to the fact that it does have an internal usb cable connection and that he wanted his post deleted.

This thread started to show off a new LCD I got to test that had not ben released to the public and thought some people might be interested in a few pics of something new!
 
I'm so pissed... I ordered the 633 on March 9th for my HTPC... goto CF website the next day to check something, and *BOOM* the new 635 was released... Oh well, the 633 is still really nice, and the 635 might have been a bit too to big looking on the front of my HTPC.
 
not as bad as CFAG12864B

You *may* be able to trade it in if you want, the people there are pretty nice. Give them a call / email, can't hurt.

The 633 has a built-in fan controller and temperature sensor/DOW connector. If you did want to trade you'd have to tell them that you don't want to loose that functionality... ;) ;) .

The 633 would still look great in the front of a HTPC! Two lines would be a little bit more descrete than 4.

I'd like to get a graphics LCD, but they look like a real pain to setup and since I am no programmer it would take me a month to make it just show a circle on it.
