jumpman Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Im starting a little project...as some of you know, im from argentina...land of the Asados (kick butt bbqs) and beatiful woman (?) I was talking to a friend of mine, the other day...about matrix orbital displays and stuff, long story short...we're thinking on making our own customized LCDs displays with Fan control capabilities, temperature probes, wireless LCD panel and the posibilities are ENDLESS! Now, the big question...would you guys be interested in getting this nice lcds? We are talking about: 4x20, 4x40, and some other graphics models. Some fan control circuits...a small box that lets you control fans thru software, not even using space in your drive bays... Im all ears. Thanx a lot guys. Victor. EDIT: Prices might be lower than matrix orbital LCDs...and be customized for each costumer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thraxz Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 That would be pretty awesome but it's likely I could not afford them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpman Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Thanx thraxz, at least someone is willing to give his opinion Ill post prices soon enough...but the will be cheaper than Matrix Orbitals . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundx98 Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 I really love the Matrix Orbital products. Good software is a real key to any LCDs performance. Keep me posted or at least PM when you have info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's cool, then I'm interested. Well...do you know matrix orbital's LCDs and fan control features? Well...just that but better, and cheaper. ^^ (Actually im not sure about "better" but...equal its ok.) We wanna be able to hear what the costumer wants, and do it JUST for him...that means, if Mr. A wants his fan controller without an external display...then we'll make one for him PS: Sorry for my horrible english... plus technicism kills me.

madu Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 YOu might wanna think about the where you make them as Matrix Orbital display.. I bought a MO 4x20 about 2 months back..was pretty cool.. And then I found this 4" color LCD.. no much price difference.. I woulld have definitely bought that color LCD if I saw it first.. looks pretty awesome than the MO.. With Samurize and MBM5 you can create a nice system spec window and put it in there.. will be so much cooler than the MO..and you can customise the screen anyway you like.. So you should consider those stuff before getting on with that kinda project because you'd have to do it in quite a large scale you know.. because fan control bays are already in the market.. and the use of color lcd's are getting popular also because almost all vid cards now have dual display adapters.. here;s link..check it out.. http://www.frozencpu.com/scan/se=Electroni...enu_search.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpman Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 of course, the propblem with color LCDs as second dislplay is the lack of control you have for fans and stuff...the idea, is to get fans, temp probes, maybe an oled display and infrared reciever in a nice bezel and get that thing working. About that color lcds, well...thats another subject...but it will be easyer to get one working...cause you skip the connect-the-freaking-display-to-the-serial-port mess. Anyway...i love comunity feedback. THanx a lot guys! PS: That Alphacool display ROXxxx! ...now, the one by the alphacool will be a nice add on PS2: ill keep you guys informed...maybe some pics on friday. So you should consider those stuff before getting on with that kinda project because you'd have to do it in quite a large scale you know.. because fan control bays are already in the market.. the main objective of this project is to give the ppl what they want...if you dont want a display, just knobs...then youll have just that. If you want knobs, color lcd, temp probes, fan headers with automatic temperature control,infrared reciever,maybe a nice wireless unit...or a dislplay that works thru ethernet ...youll have it!

jumpman Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Madu...i forgot to tell you, one of the models i have in mind will have a 5" lcd screen...and its going to cost about 130/150 with aluminum bezel and connectors, ready to use. (you made youre point, haha, color lcds screens are the way to go. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundx98 Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 The alphacool comes in one color as well - Blue. Did you check the software site? I don't know if we are talking about the same animal here. keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
