Wallmounted Jukebox

<< < (2/2)

Lave Laar:
I'm building a jukebox too. It's a big floormodel and I use Chris's DOSCab as the player.  Should be finshed real soon.  Only thing left to do is to put laminate or something on it to make it look a little better  ;)

I've got a question for those of you doing wallmounted jukeboxes:

If i were to obtain a working LCD screen from a laptop and a mini motherboard to drive the computer, what would I need to interface the LCD screen w/ the computer?

Are there special connectors or boards needed?

What would need to be included w/ the screen?

TIA

I looked at doing just that, I have an old 486 laptop with a good display that I wanted to use... I looked into it but its very hard.... a lot of electronics are needed and I am no good at that sort of stuff.

I got an old 12" flatscreen from ebay, Ive stripped most of the casing and the screen is about 5mm think now :) the motherboard and CPU where also from ebay a real bargin 400mhz amd for

See... it is important that I post here every once in a while...

As I said I was planning on this wallbox thing for a while the laptop display in the box is the obvious way to go... this site -

is a great ( though not terribly cheap ) resource for LCD parts...

these guys looked pretty good too...

and then don't forget car LCDs... a video board with TV out would be all you need for that...
