    I want to mount a LK204-25PC externally, but I don't know how. I want sometihng new. I had an idea once, but it was too expensive and I don't like the idea anymore (the lcd mounted in the inside of a juwelbox that looked like a flightcase, but it was £18 and I don't want to spend so much money on that alone). I want to have lots of space for switches and LED's, good visibility and it has to be the style of the Lian Li PC71 (it's the 70 but in black, I like black more than silver, more original I think ;) )

    you can get some nice enclosers at maplin, i know they have metal ones but don't know which metal it is, you could always rub it down with some fine wet & dry to give the 'brushed metal' look.

    This was very cheap since it was made from bits I had lying around. But obviously you have already seen it so I would suggest you just hunt around and see what you have stuffed in a drawer or cupboard ;)

    ofcourse I've seen it! but in my opinion mods must make your case original (your opinion also as I have read somewhere) so I don't want to just fake you ;)

    I didn't mean copy it, I meant just see what you have lying around that you can convert into an original housing. :D

    relix how about something like this


    [​IMG]

    all the wires go up the arms and your LCD hangs in the midle.

    or

    would the disply fit into a cdrom tray, remove the tray and replace with the LDC mount this verticaly and have a slid out LCD.

    how about slealting it and making a devcie that opens to show the LCD
