With the mounting done, we can now focus on wiring the unit into our case. I chose to extend the wires into the case using some old single pair phone cord for the power, and some salvaged led wires from another case to carry the Composite Video Signal. The door required minor modification in the bottom left corner to prevent the wires from being caught when the door opens and closes. Luckily for me, the Antec case has a small hole precut in the same corner, which allows me to route the cables into the main case. If it didn’t all that you would need to do is drill a small 1/8 inch hole to run the wires through yourself.

I also didn’t bother to document the actual routing and connections inside the case due to the fact that everyone will probably do it differently. I can tell you that the power wires are simply hooked up to a spare Molex connector in the top of the case. If you do this, make sure you wire it like so:

• Black (module) to Black (Molex) and Red (module) to Yellow (Molex)

You can also use a spare “floppy drive” power connector. The wiring for that would simply be:

• Black (module) to Black (Molex) and Red (module) to Red (Molex)

That brings us to the Composite Video Signal. The Module itself comes with a female RCA jack for input, that you can mount anywhere you choose. I chose to mount mine into a spare expansion slot cover in the rear of my case. This allows you to feed your display from anything with a common RCA Video Output!

So what do you use this extra screen for? Anything! Some examples would be:

• VCR, DVD
• PS, PS2, N64, Dreamcast, Xbox and many more…
• As an extension of your existing desktop or as a second monitor in a duel display setup.

Many video cards now come with a “TV out” port that can be used to drive the module. Others with only VGA connectors can be used with the addition of a VGA to NTSC (composite) scan converter.

If you use the module as an extended desktop, you can display such things as:

• Winamp
• Winamp Visual Effects
• Motherboard Monitor
• IM Programs
• Absolutely anything you don’t want cluttering up your primary monitor!

With that said, I’ll leave you with a few pictures of the screen being fed by a VCR. More pictures and other mod ideas can be found in my gallery at Gruntville.com. I hope this helps all of your build up the courage to try it yourself, and Good luck on your future projects!
