does anyone have a small LCD screen on their PC case?

[robphelan]

and what do you use it for?

I bought a case that included a matrix orbital lcd and haven't hooked it up yet. I was wondering what people used it for.

thanks,
rob.

Are you talking about just the two tone lcd's like theses. If so then they can be used as a baybus, an e-mail monitoring solution, tempurature monitoring I believe. It al depends on the software that you use.

yep.. i have similar to those but haven't hooked it up yet.

Heh, I'm toying around with 1 Custom built Rig and put a LCD Monitor in the case. it works great as an e-mail checker, Puter Monitor or to mess with settings or Screen savers for the Rig but that's about it as the fonts are hard to read

I've got a 4x20 Matrix Orbital VFD (not LCD... dont think LCD's are common in case screens..).

Anyway, I use LCD Smartie 5.2 to display all kinds of data from temps, speeds, songs in winamp, etc.
