Screen in case 7' 1024x600 Full RGB HDMI display.

I was going to put in a led matrix display of some sort but It thought why not just another screen.

Now I can drag and drop anything onto it from my desktop cause it's just like an extended monitor. 

 

Powered by micro usb and hdmi running out though the back of the case to get plugged in.

Both! it's a DIY, you can buy these little 7" screen at the local electronic store over here 'Jaycar Electronics' cost about $160 (AUD) the screen already comes with HDMI and usb power also touch compatible.

My case has this perfect little spot and like I mentioned I was going to try and hook up and Arduino and try and get a matrix led screen with an equaliser or something else, but after looking to them there was too much messing around with building and programming and these things were pretty much just plug and play.

It comes with little risers but i got some longer ones just to give it more clearance under the board cause it's just raw circuit board under there no housing or anything.

And just removed a bottom pci slot holder thingy and ran the hdmi/usb power out the back into my GPU and usb, might try and dremmel grind one down so it fits the cords more nicely, but for a quick afternoon idea I think it turned out quite well.

The only other thing I had to do was drill some holes to mount it on, cause it was a last minute idea, I didn't measure properly and you can see the other holes I drilled before I got it right *whoops*
