Finished LCD digital image display
Well the project is 99% done. All that's left is; at some point I want to
run the cables to the display inside the wall and maybe run a cat5 network cable to the box for uploading images from my other machine downstairs. Otherwise I'm extremely happy with the way this turned out. I ended up with a -silent- computer box (in the corner behind the end table next my couch) running it. The only fan is a slow 80mm zalman in the rear of the PSU, Specs a 17in Benq LCD monitor old style ATX case with sideways PSU intel P3 800 zalman Cu 3100 HS with no fan 300W PSU with 80mm Zalman fan 47 Ohm resistor in-line modified PSU case with hole in side over CPU and grills removed Voodoo 4 with fan removed slot cover under video card removed leadtek 2000XP TV card with remote Benq DVD reader Win2K w/ freeware slide show screen saver So now I have remote TV/DVD/unlimited slide show display for 1280X1024 digital images which looks like a picture frame. So far the highest temps I've seen on the CPU is 46C after a 2 hour DVD. With the slide show running 24/7 the temps are around 40C. I hope to have several hundred images (or more) on it to display in the near future given it has a 15 gig drive in this box it can hold much more than that. So far have about 75 images loaded and hundreds more to scan. I finished building the "frame" to hold the LCD this weekend. I left a 1" wide vent slot the width of the frame under and above to allow convection to cool the display. It's screwed to 2 studs which happened to be in the right place as the display is only 16 inches wide. Below is a link to a few shots of it. http://stephe_2.tripod.com/LCD.html Now I have a place to display all these images I've taken over the last 20 years! It almost looks like a 11X14 chrome on a big lightbox is the best way to describe it. Plus I now have a TV in the room that isn't "the focal point" of the room that the furniture must be arranged around like most houses have. I already had the old computer so the whole deal with the mods to silence the box and the LCD were about $650, cheaper than an LCD TV would have been and much more versatile. -- Stacey |

Even after checking headers going back to early March, I'm still not sure. It is *so* much easier to spoof a usenet header or hijack an account than get a horse to drink from the well. :-) |

Well I think -this- is what I was missing with digital, a way to display the images in my home. I never liked prints made from digital files but this display looks great. This probably will change my mind about digital photography or at least scanning the proofs I have made from film to display this way. -- Stacey |

For some reason some of the host files have www.tripod.lycos.com in them which blocks that whole domain. If not can you access www.tripod.com? If not your ISP is blocking that domain "for you"... -- Stacey |
