what can you do on Case screen mods?

For summer I'm thinking of getting another small LCD screen on the case, and iv been thinking of having it to just show what songs are playing. but if I'm spending that much money on it i want it to display other things too.

Anyway, i read the sticky about PSone screen but they didn't say how to make it display just one program running on the computer. i want one screen (the main one) still displaying game or word or something when the other screen on case is displaying windows media player or videos. and if i get a touch screen one can i get it to control windows media player? (while other program running on other screen)

and i wish to get a ATI 1950 soon if that helps,
Ray

Check the thread under my sig. I used samurize to knock up some system info stuff and an album art thing

Yeah just read the whole thing, looking really good i must say

But wont certain cards not allow things like this?
and i will ask while I'm on the topic, which x1950 card will give you best bangs per buck? I don't want a high end tbh, i don't want to spend anymore than 150 pounds around the time (i will buy during the exams so i can play as soon as the exams and parties are over) and im guessing they will be much cheaper once the new GPU cards arrive.

well the seen good reports of the Connect3D X1950XT which is around your price range, however for £30 more you could have a Geforce 8800 GTS 320MB and thats quite a big jump in performance, and u will be able to at least play diext 10 games when they surface.

My monitor has an RCA cable (yellow,white and red) but with a simple RCA to S-video convertor which can be had for £2 fro. The two cards mentioned above do anywhm you know where. The you just plug it into the TV out on the back of the graphics card, I think just about all cards come with it today, the two cards i mentioned do anyway.
