irfdude Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Just finished reading. A great bit of reporting and photos. I plan to do the samd by using b&q to do my cuts. Also how will you be fitting the laptop into the cab? Will you be seperating the monitor somehow? I ask as im doing the same with an old 19" laptop which has got broken hinges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeychunkuk Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Funny enough i haven't used the laptop it was to slow, if your planning on using one i would strip it down disconnect the screen and pick up a cheap monitor and plug that in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irfdude Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Funny enough i haven't used the laptop it was to slow, if your planning on using one i would strip it down disconnect the screen and pick up a cheap monitor and plug that in Cheers for the advice, I was thinking that but I dont know how to connect the screen unless I use the vga port. Gonna test it out as when I try it on my TV it doesnt detect the screen on stadtup and I have to hook up the monitor again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeychunkuk Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 The vga port is fine you can't connected a monitor any other way unless you have HDMI port on both devices, you may have thought like me that you could connect to the same connection of the built in monitor but they are worlds apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
