    Thats a very nice idea. How do you power it when its in your computer ?
    You have some sort of lead coming out of the computer.

    Done them before, the novelty wears off, believe me :(

    You won't really be able to display your desktop on it, tv outputs won't give that good quality for things like text/desktop/windows, and this is even smaller. I used it mainly to play stuff like Family Guy (it was built into the front of a Shuttle so it was on my desk).

    Motherboard Monitor displays temps.
