Hey, i have been wanting to do this for awhile, but i dont know how to, can i buy a monitor that would fit in the 5 1/2" bay? Also how would i go about hooking it up a secondary monitor? Thanks.
 
hmm, you may need to give us more details, like do you want a tiny monitor in there or do you want to somehow connect the base of a monitor in there?
 
It wont be monitor, but you can buy tiny LCDs that you can program to display text that fit in the bay. I'm not sure if thats what you mean.
 
Hmm, i kinda whanted a monitor in there so that i could set it up as a secondary monitor and display cool stuff on there. Im just wondering are there monitors for comps. that are 5 1/2'' or less?
 
Most graphics cards have 2 monitor plugin places on them. So you can just plug it into youre second slot(you might need to get a converter). If you are using windows than just rightclick on youre desktop hit display and hit the settings tab, than play around with the second monitor settings there. As for the monitor thats that tiny I really have no clue how to get one that small but mabye this one?
 
Do you mean like the tiny monitors that they have in Media Centers? There probably around 4-6 inches, and it shows your desktop. I would imagine they hook up via your video card's monitor port. But i dont know where to get them.
 
He probably just wants one of those that uses USB. Not color or anything(well, red and black, or some 2 colors) I about purchased one a while back... Pretty neat and pointless ;P

Sorry I can't be of much help, but I don't remember what the particualr one I was looking at was called. BUT, you can probably find a few if you search on google. I've even seen some just plain LCDs that you could wire up and mount yourself on some old 5" dummy, if you feel like doing your own modding
 
Alright, sorry to create such confusion, i know how i am going to do it now(sortof). All i need is a website or link to aabout a 5" monitor that i can plug into my video card. Thanks.
