alright i have the Lian Li PC-60 I do not have a floppy drive and looking to put a LCD screen in where they (3) 3 1/2. Saw several sites this one looks to be the best. http://www.matrixorbital.com/ I need some one to let me know what LCD screen I should get and will look best in my comp. thanks a lot
I think you can force any of MO's 20x4 displays into two lian li 3.5" drive bays... but it's a little tight. Have a look at the bottom of here - http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5582 for a very small lcd Rob.
matrix orbital probably make the best displays i think. if you can afford it go for a nice big vfd like the Matrix Orbital VFD2041 or the VK204-25. as for mounting, erm, sum1 with a lian-li stuck their vfd/lcd in the 3 3.5" bays before, I'm trying to think who it was [searching for post]
Cheese: read through your LCD faq (helped me out alot) on all the little question i had. Seeing the LCD and the VFD, I like the VFD a lot more. Sid: Checked out matrix orbital and looked at the 2 models u gave me. I am defintly going VFD, now what is the differnece between the VFD2041 and the VK204-25? The VFD2041 has keyboard interface and 1 general pupose output, and the VK204-25 has 25 keys interface and has 6 general purpose outputs. Now what one should i go with ? and what is the link that has pics of Phire's case that has a screen in it thanks a bunch both of ya ¤§†Ü§§µ¤
You answered your own q about the diff between the VFD2041 and the VK204-25 - if you think you're going to use GPO's then go with the -25, if not don't (I think the keypad interface is largely redundant unless you're using the lcd on a keyboardless system). Rob.
alright, got some pics and need some help. The 1st pic is a pic of the back of the VFD2401 and the 2nd one is the VK204-25. http://www.matrixorbital.com/manuals/vfd2041/image008.jpg http://www.matrixorbital.com/manuals/vk20425/backslbl.jpg they both have the power connecter and the com ports, then the VK204-25 has the input for the Keypad and 6 GPO (general purpose output) found out what that ment. Now back at the VFD2401 it has the only 1 GPO. What will more GPO allow me to do? Any help would be great thanks. changed the
I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that the top one will allow you to use a basic keypad that you could find on the MO website. But the bottom one will allow for much more sophisticated things...
cheapest? What would be the cheapest lcd display (probably 20x2, correct me if im wrong) that one could find? Thanks.
