    Where can I buy a MatrixOrbital Serial LCD Online. I'm in the US so preferably from the US. Looking for good prices and I don't want to do and work on it cause I'm to lazy.

    Why of course www.matrixorbital.com. This is one of the two suppliers of the MO lcd. I dont know what the other one is but its prob more expensive.

    Card->Serial Cable
    Serial Cable->Serial Port

    Uhh, yeah, but I'm not gonna connect the lcd to a cable and run through to a serial port. 1st off that will disrupt air flow. Second it will just plain look bad. And third it won't reach from my top bay through the PCI slot and to the back because of the fact I have a server tower.

    Lol...you don't mean a serial card but a serial blanking plate :) The lcd runs to the blanking plate with a properitory connector, then the plate runs to the serial port on the back of your case, so you don't have a big serial cable trailing through your comp :p The don't come with the cable/card or the power cable, you need to buy those separately.

    youre more than likely gonna have to order one online cuz most places dont have them. matrix orbital would be a good choice.
