Ive also come across a bit of a problem. I hadnt thort about the radiator thickness+the fan, which will come to 8.5cm!!! so this stops me mounting the psu at 90 degrees but if i dont mount it at 90 degrees it will block the top window which has holes drilled through to let hot air escape, also the outlets on th radiator would be just above a load of the motherboard bit and bobs so conflict there aswell, so bugger but i have a cunning plan :D

New layout all measured and sorted, everything will fit. Ive stayed up all night to redo the front panel. So im back to where i was *phew* the layout means i wont have to move the psu or worry about it getting hot air off the radiator so that will save some time so now all i have left to do is,
1) Make a radiator mount
2) Make part of the back panel mesh
3) Cut holes for the resovoir
4) Put all the components in

and paint it

Fuzziness is due to the plastic in front of the screen....well I reckon :rolleyes: Try placing a piece of plastic infront of your TFT and see what it looks like to compare :D

Looks good though...Just need to decide on what to put on it now :)

BeatMaster :D
 
i think its fuzzy in general lol but neverminits ok for big things
il have to try and find something to run in it permantly any ideas? id love the album slider bút apparantly u cant render two screens so thats out of the window
 
I think there's 3 or 4 going on in this section at the moment, its great cause we seem to have all started at the same time will be good to see all the results. :)
 
and some variety, air and water cooled ones lol ive designed a config on samurize for the mini monitor, which shows album art (and updates itself) system figures and the time, and a nice background so when the album art goes it still looks good :D

Its a Lilliput 508GL-65NPHD 6.5" Headrest Monitor. Unfortunatly its got composite input, so i had to buy a little rca>s-video adapter. I think if i could justify the extra £70 i would have got a vga touch screen, but i think it would have been to tight a fit to get 1 in the case.
