ahh

2019-03-18 18:07:36 UTC  

entire laptop cost about as much as his 32gb RAM and 2tb (!) nvme

2019-03-18 18:07:37 UTC  

wait that thing is just extra chinkscreen ?

2019-03-18 18:08:42 UTC  

on the preview it looked like laptop

2019-03-18 18:09:40 UTC  

i bought a LCD panel (+ backlight) and the chip to interface its 40pin embedded DisplayPort (? i think) to HDMI
for $55

this man bought an old thinkpad chassis retrofitted with a custom motherboard manufactured in shenzen
with high end current-gen laptop components like CPU and insane screen

2019-03-18 18:09:45 UTC  

for $1200

2019-03-18 18:09:48 UTC  

i mean you could ask the seller about what panel they are using

2019-03-18 18:09:52 UTC  

(and controller too)

2019-03-18 18:09:57 UTC  

not including his own RAM and ssd

2019-03-18 18:10:02 UTC  

to prevent flicker/etc suprises

2019-03-18 18:10:29 UTC  

and yes
the blogger linked the panel but it's not a common one
i bought the cheapest one i could find because e x p e r i m e n t a l

2019-03-18 18:11:44 UTC  

you can get cheap replacement screens for a variety of portables like laptops, ipads, etc
the hard part is converting their tinyass internal ribbon connector to a sane port like HDMI
which is where magical chinks come in

2019-03-18 18:12:23 UTC  
2019-03-18 18:13:32 UTC  

each woulda been about $55 per panel + $40/chip if done right
then 4k monitors came in

2019-03-18 18:58:40 UTC  

is the /csg/ review bot still up?

2019-03-18 18:59:01 UTC

2019-03-18 18:59:16 UTC

2019-03-18 18:59:36 UTC  
2019-03-18 18:59:49 UTC  

I know that feeling

2019-03-18 19:00:15 UTC  

had to put my facial recognition turret on pause because I'm busy with uni

2019-03-18 19:00:40 UTC  

I know right

2019-03-18 19:01:01 UTC  

it's 2 months that I'm telling myself "I'll fix it this weekend"

2019-03-18 19:01:07 UTC  

then weekend arrives and I just sleep all day

2019-03-18 19:01:41 UTC  

sometimes sit down in front of my pc to work on it

2019-03-18 19:01:51 UTC  

then just stare blankly at the screen for an hour

2019-03-18 19:03:00 UTC  

I've got the facial recognition and the servo control part done

2019-03-18 19:03:11 UTC  

now I've just got to do the annoying part

2019-03-18 19:03:33 UTC  

it really sounds interesting af but <#531212403858472967> pls in case someone decides to actually discuss chinkshit

2019-03-18 22:00:47 UTC  

truely wireless bt earbuds without cutting out when

2019-03-19 00:18:47 UTC  

Are there any cheaper forms of this anywhere? All the ones I've found that are cheaper are arranged differently.

2019-03-19 00:20:35 UTC  

with that specific arrangement?

2019-03-19 00:20:39 UTC  

2 middle, 2 side?

2019-03-19 00:21:27 UTC  

Like this. 1 on either side, 1 middle and 1 above the middle one.

2019-03-19 00:21:52 UTC  

If they are all expensive, what's the cheapest triple monitor mount I could buy?

2019-03-19 00:22:14 UTC  

i don't think you'll get something cheaper than $50 unless you can get something used or local

2019-03-19 00:22:44 UTC  

Used maybe and local is a no go as I live in a small town in northern England.

2019-03-19 01:15:50 UTC  

Don't cheap out on that shit.

2019-03-19 01:15:51 UTC  

I did.
