EDIT: discussion link I'm currently working on a plexi desktop. It's almost done now, all I need to do is to put the components in the case. (I'm waiting for a PSU) I wen to my high school woods teacher and asked if I could use their CNC mill. He said it was fine and I started work on my designs. Several months later I came out with this (almost finished) result. Its almost entirely Plexi, the few things that arent are just small L-brackets to hold the design in place and to hold parts (like PSU & Drives) in place.
Got the parts I found a power cupply for my primary computer, so now im just going to use the old PSU. should be a nice setup. Also, I was thinking about inegrating an old laptop screen into it. Anyone know how to take apart an old powerbook?
Laptop Screen Here's the laptop monitor taken apart, it's really very thin when its dissasembled like this ( ~.2" ) Anyone have any Ideas about how to mount the thing onto the plexi? It DOES need the chip on the right side. (click on the picture to see a bigger version)
LCD gone the LCD was working fine when I took it out, I tested it and it worked fine, left it plugged in and my brother (14 years old) saw how amazingly awesome a thin screen like that looked. needless to say, he broke it. Now I'll just have to do it without the screen.
Looks good so far. Acrylic is always sexy. Only thing that stands out as a major problem to me, is that you cant use a laptop screen on a normal pc without a very expensive converter card as lappy LCDs work on an entirley different technology. Ive searched high and low on whether it was possible or not without a converter, and all signs pointed to no. Did you have something figured out for that?
Old technology it was on old (about 5 or more years old) Powerbook. It DID work on normal VGA socket. Until my brother got to it. I'm gonna try to fix it, since it is only the CC power converter that's broken.
