So here's the deal guys,
I just stole an EMCOM Net/QC out of the "to be thrown away" pile at my school. I figured this thing would make a kickass chassis for the ultimate LAN party machine, seeing as it has an onboard display and whatnot. So Ive stripped out all of the old hardware with relative ease, and it looks like it will very easily accommodate a micro atx board. The problem comes in with the screen. I'm not sure what res the one that came on it is, but I know it wont be high enough (This box was built in the mid 90's, and its only an 11.5 inch screen. Luckily, if I trim away a bit of plastic, there will be room for a Samsung LTN141XB display. My question is, How do I connect it? Is it possible too? The only connector on the screen is an odd looking connector which I can only assume carries both data and power. Any way to split this into a DVI cable and a power line? Or could you guys recommend an alternative screen that is made for this sort of thing?
PS- Because the point of this project is to make the power of a destop easily portable on the cheap, Ill be using a standard desktop mobo
EDIT: I already own the Samsung display mentioned above. I salvaged it from a fried laptop.
