O.P. Custom Computer Monitors
I'm building a new gaming computer, using the Thermaltake Tai-Chi Tower And I would ideally like it all to be pretty unique, so I was wondering if anyone knows a site where I can request a monitor to be built that will suit the tower or where I can find even a pre-built that is kinda unique that goes with it.

I would ideally like it to be wide screen. oh and HD Ready :P

I been searching but all I can seem to find a specialist companies that work for the military or w.e so they won't do it for the general public.

RE: Custom Computer Monitors
You buy a small 7" LCD display or even use a laptop monitor.. Then connect some hardware to it and make it display windows 95 per example:P or execute some programs (which display temperature per example)..

I saw a guy doing this in a modding forum a while ago..

HD ready? You mean you want your primary screen intergrated into your tower? How many inch are you thinking about?

RE: Custom Computer Monitors
Ah, that explains a lot...

Well, if you could even find a company that will create a single custom monitor for a regular person than it's going to cost you LOADS of money, and I do mean LOADS. So I would highly recommend searching an existing one that matches. Silver with black are your base colors and a bit of blue.

I know what HD Ready means, but this label is usually only used on TVs. Anyway, if you want a PC monitor to be HD ready than all you need is a monitor that supports a minimum of 1280x720 pixels and has a proper digital input like DVI or HDMI. Most good flat monitors have that these days.

Aren't those the ones which make you impotent if you keep them in your lap for too long? I heard something about them being very hot underneath and it can cause "problems".

And, HD Ready is something which you get for TVs - a DVI input isn't necessary to view HD broadcasts on a PC, simply a resolution of 1280x1024 and above, HD is just referring to the fact that the picture quality is better on a TV.

Who works with a laptop on his lap anyway? The invented deks and tables for such things :). Laptops in general can get pretty hot, yes.
