Info screens

What to do with two "old" LCD monitors? Connect them to a cheap, small Ubuntu system, and hang them on the wall as info screens, or electric images.

Step 1: Create a steel frame. This required some welding, which I don't have a clue of, but I tried anyways. After some heavy and ugly frying and even some more massive grinding I managed to manufacture a frame which actually did not fall apart AND fit the monitors!



Step 2: Mount monitors into frame, and mount the whole stuff to the wall.



Step 3: Create some nice cover for monitors and computer. To do!

Step 4: Install computer, and get Ubuntu to understand there are TWO friggin' monitors (that is tough going so far).

More images to follow!
