Bish's Oak Bartop Touchscreen
Lave Laar:
I really like how this turned out. Nice work. :applaud:
In fact it made me change my own plans to do something similar to this. I originally planned to make a box with a frame and then hang it on the wall. This way it's easier to place and I don't have to worry about my plaster walls being strong enough for the weight of the touchscreen.
Where did you get the cover plate with the VGA and minijack connections?

Thanks for your kind words.
The cover plate for the connectors is simply the back from one of these project boxes from Radio Shack (a electronics/components retailer here in the States; link below). I had to modify it by cutting some of the plastic a little bit, but it turned out nice.

The other connectors either came from Radio Shack, or I stripped them from other components (the VGA connector is simply the metal DSub connector ripped out of a VGA cable, and the USB connector I ripped out of an old non-working system. The AC receptacle came out of a dead power supply.
Again, let me say thanks for your great front end. That was the one component of this project that I didn't know how I was going to handle, and your front end was EXACTLY what was needed and works wonderfully. Thanks! :applaud:
