    Aahha. I have to try that. Altough it has to wait till I get all the stuff I need.
    Btw, are there any big 'n' cheap furniture shops near Mons?

    hmm.. well Brico is all over belgium i think, but it's more a hardware shop with some furniture. top-decor is near mons, but they sell most hardware and lamps and stuff. you could go to IKEA near bruxelles...

    Sorry for hijacking this tread with this info..

    You have to go to the shop and make yoursef known, think about it. You have a shop and in comes someone you don't know asking for a $25 LCD as sponsoring and you might get advertising, OR

    This guy who comes in every other day for a chat and sometimes buys some stuff mentions a PC he's making and wants an LCD and that he needs a sponsor. You, as a kind shop-owner give him an LCD, or at least a discount :thumb:

    I get a 10% discount at my local electronics store because I'm in there at least every week. :rock:

    Noo! I don't get the lcd-display to work. I install Lcd-smartie and drivers, and the lcd display start to show something. I adjusted the contrast, and then I found out that it just showed random numbers and letters. Her is a picture! [​IMG]

    I'm not a technical miracle, but I'd say that some of the cables arenn't well soldered or connected. So you should check them once.

    I continued to soldered, and both of the pot thing start to burn. I goes well now, but the backgroundlight don't work(but I don't need it anyway). 1.,2 .and 4. line work, but it only show numbers and prosent. If I set to show text it will be in arabic or twisted in that way. I think I just gonna use it to show dato and clock. I hate myself :wallbash: and my soldering fingers :wallbash:

    It is very likely that you have crossed some signal wires, which can cause it to do stuff like that.

    My advice? Take it all off, check for solder bridges, and start fresh. It is really a pain to get it all working (I just finnished wiring up a real custom job for my 20x4, so I know just how hard it can be).

    Once it works, though, uber coolness :thumb:

    Gotta take my hat off to you there. Keep up the good work!

    Oh, and can someone please translate 'pothings' for me? I speak English, French, Italian and a *tiny* bit of German, Latin, Japanese, Russian and Ancient Egyptian, but no Norwegian! :D

    Here is the fans that would be used.

    Some of the plates glued fast. I have thought to use screws or nails. What do you think? What would hold longest?

    I bought it from USA. Check this page: www.voyeurmods.com
    I bought complete watercooling for cpu and gpu, fans and sleeving and it came up to 210$. Haven't bought graphic-card and processor yet.

    This hasn't got anything to do with the actual mod but with modding even more. So as you two are norwegians, could you tell me if pc hardware is cheaper in Norway than it's in eg. Germany, which is really cheap place. And if is, then are there any good pc shops in northern Norway, like Trondheim and stuff, cause my dads going there.

    I don't think that pc hardware is cheaper in Norway than other place, and the reason is the VAT on 24%. Actually it is many in Norway that import from Germany and other land.
