Hey, all! I have in mind a dream computer which actually fits in my home entertainment stereo stack. I want it to look slick & black in the front, with a DVD drive, IR port for wireless kbd/mouse and Remote Control, and to run MythTV (Of course it will be a Linux machine!)
For the front, I want a a complex display, like a stereo has, to display stuff depending on what the machine is doing at the time: For instance, if playing music, it might show the track name / CD info / Mp3 file info / level outputs. If watching a DVD, might display the chapter + time. If you are working on the machine, maybe it could display the CPU temp, network activity, CPU usage bar, etc. Where could I possibly get a display like this? I realize that I'd have to probably program drivers & stuff for it. But that's the FUN part! =) Has anybody else ever done this? or know where I could get such a complex LED (Not LCD, not bright enough unless it's backlit or color)? -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
