Hello all! I just registered here (after some years of lurking) as I am beginning to salvage parts and drawing up concepts for a scratch-built computer case. And of course I would like to include a display for showing temperature and such. You know the deal I assume I stumbled across these two items on ebay: blue USB LCD and white LCD, and I thought about purchasing both of them and then desolder the blue lcd and in its place put the white lcd. And there comes the question: Do you think the white lcd would look good enough (read : look orange enough) when put behind a piece of orange plexi? (And here's the WIP of the concept so far, if it is of interest to anyone )
Wow quad rad. You should be able to swap out the LEDs in the LCD to get the colour you want. Ask anyone who's modded a G15, the screen is practically the same thing. Orange plexi should be ok, although I'd be worried about it looking brown.
Thanks for your help, I have ordered the displays, and will see if I can change the color in some way. Otherwise I will probably find some other use for them
