Remote LCD Touchscreen
« on: July 19, 2008, 03:41:21 am »
Hi All
I've just had a games room bulit and had been toying with a jukebox - but was concerned about the amount of space it would take up. Someone suggested a remote touchscreen linked to a pc which sounded like a great idea. Trouble is searching on the net is a pain for any of those combinationsas it trawls up all sorts of other items. Anyone have any pointers to easily fit a screen in one room and have the PC in another? Makes and models would be a huge help.
Thanks everso,
Dave

Can you simply cut a hole in the wall and mount the monitor into that and have all the wires come out of the wall on the otherside and connect to a PC.   Basically, if you had a closet (or storage room), then outside the closet/storage room you would mount the monitor on to the wall and then inside the closet/storage room you would have the computer stuff hidden from view.
