Hi I have an Idea that has been at the back of my mind for a build for a few years, and i'm now in a position to give it a go.

However I need some advice and hopefully this sub forum can help I want to build a small self contained unit including a small tft screen, however while I have been building computers for quite awhile I have never really tried fitting a mini screen and was wondering what I need to look for.

What I mean is what connectors, specs/resolution, and if touchscreen could be done etc.

Have not decided on the rest of the build yet and for the screen will install in an old desk top 1st to practice but would there be any minimum requirements needed I know if I want touch will need win7 but anything else?

My google fu may be weak but could not find anything about the specifics of setting a screen up on the net just lots of pretty pictures so any help appreciated.
 
Hi thanks for the reply yep the ready built ones are a touch to expensive which is why I want to install my own.

I found a reseller with a large selection of small screens and I found a adaptor that should let me power a 3.5" screen from an internal usb header, but I have no idea what i'm looking for in regards to the output signal.

Will keep looking
