Ok, so My 9100 got fried somehow, and I was about to sell it off for parts, then I remembered seeing someone with a lan rig with a laptop LCD mounted onto their PC case. So I am wondering is there anyway to do this? I would very much like to be able to take my PC around until I get another Laptop, and thethought of carrying around my CRT monitor to work isn't pleasing.


Any input would be greatly appreciared, thanks guys

The short answer for using any laptop LCD display with a standard computer is 'no'. If you know what got fried, you can eBay the good parts.

basically, you need an controller for the scree. laptop LCDs don't have them built in. beyond that, i have no clue.
