10.3", 640x480 fixed resolution, VGA input.

Right now I'm using it as a second monitor for msc stuff (IM chat, picture viewer, watching video, etc...). I have a spare Dell Optiplex PC (with an all in one video, nic, audio motherboard) I might use it for a living room mp3 player hooked up to the stereo and this lcd for a monitor (painting the case silver or black) and use a screen saver to cycle thru some pictures as a electronic picture frame. What would you do with it? I want some ideas.

;)

That is exactly what I would do. I would love to have a small computer with LCD screen to use as an mp3 player. I am thinking about buying a small LCD screen that will fit in three 5.25 drive bays and installing it into an Antec 1040B and set it up as an mp3 player. Of course I need money before I do such a thing.

That'll be actually kind of cool to put it in a car hooked up to a pc, but 10.3" and a large frame (if I use the existing frame) is pretty big to fit anywhere in the car without some customization.

You could remove it from the frame and have it set in your dash. I am trying to find a inexpensize 9" one as that would be perfect to replace my center console cupholders with an LCD. I bought a 14" but it is just too big.

If I had any exercise equipment of any sorts, I'd make a little movie theatre out of it and mount it on the exercise machine(Bike, treadmill, ect) and watch it while I worked out.

Other ideas -

In the car
In the crapper
Kitchen counter web browser
Maybe some sort of outdoor unit that I could watch when I sit out on my patio
