    Okay, We're gonna start a list of the most commonly asked questions in the modding forum. Read through this and see if your question is answered before posting to save yourself time.

    If you have a more specific question to ask on one of the topics covered here then please feel free to start a thread and we will gladly add any further information garnered to this one.

    Q: Can I use my laptop screen on my computer?

    Right, you have a broken laptop but the screen still works, obviously it makes sense that you want to try and use it with your PC. Maybe a second monitor or uber-LCD for displaying stats, a winamp visualisation or maybe even just porn.

    Well...You have a problem. Laptop screens do not interface directly to VGA. You would need a controller to get it to work and unfortunately controllers cost way more than the cost of a half decent TFT screen these days...

    It has been done in the past but not without considerable cost and effort...And no...You can't rework the controller.

    Q: Where can I get bit-tech case badges?

    Simply enough, kustom PCs stock them.

    Please try and keep spam to a minimum - if you have something to add to the list - add it and we'll have it put to the main post :)
