ok im thinkin about puttin a lcd video screen in my case to use as a second monitor and for other stuff(tv,ps2,ect) My question is how do you hook up the LCD screen to the comp to use it as a second monitor? I know how to wire it for power and for game console play just dont know how to hook it up to use it as a second monitor? All the help would be great or if you have a link that shows you how to do it. Thanx inkslinger13@lakes.com |

i puta a post on the same thing and this is what iwas thinking. u get a lcd that is like 4 to 5 inches that is for use in cars. 12 volt connection. It takes composte vid. Get a tv out car(if s-vid get a converter) and just plug it in. As for adding ps2 tv humm. I could get a slector box and mount that on ur case adn have the connections go in on the back and have ur box there. hope this helps Urban

You could get a converter VGA-RCA/S-Vid it is like 12 bucks shipped. It hooks on the back of your vid card(i.e. ghetto vid) | |
