for 337 euro


but x-case have this one
http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/305955/thermaltake-a2413-01-retractable-7-lcd-monitor.html
for 201 euro

both seem to be very similiar specs but 130 euro difference.

any ideas?

I hope your doing this just to show off, and not to play games or browse the web on it. As the screens are pure muck. Ive seen one at a lan before, and it couldnt display mor then 24.8fps without going haywire.

more for showing off not for gaming at all.
the rig will be, but it will be connected to a 32" lcd.

its more for the look and extra feature of having it.

Ah cool, just make sure your card is compatible too. But since the specs are almost identical, just get the cheaper one/

lol. no. they are designed to fit a 7" drive bay in a computer.

subway

ahh!!,

sorry to keep asking questions but do they run customer software like the cases that have screens built in or is just for sideshow?

subway

are they not both the same thing?

komplett:
Manufacturer P\N: A2413

xcase
THERMALTAKE A2413

RoyalMarine

subway, they run it like a normal monitor would.
but you can then connect a monitor as any computer can.

and the x-case model is A2413-01.
they look different.

im gonna go with the x-case one. the look doesnt make up for 120 euro difference.

Nice on the eye!

RoyalMarine

yeah it looks great. im building it for the sake of it really.

more of an entertainment centre. but its top range stuff. they're very mobile and dont weigh too much. handy for travelling to m8's gaff's etc.

Seriously sweet. Would love to build a small box and just use that as the primary screen....be damn hard to surf the net though

RoyalMarine

that true. but its more for a back up for when i dont have a monitor etc.

This might sound stupid but how do you connect this to your graphics card? Do you bring the VGA cable through the pc and pull it out the back of your pc then plug into graphics card?

I could think of better things to spend €200+ on personally! But everyman to his own!
