[ILUG-Social] LCD Panels

[John Kelly]

With all the recent talk of house wiring, I figure this is pretty
relevant.

I've got a headless server stored under the stairs at home.  Recently,
I've been thinking about throwing on a small LCD Panel, so I can see
what's going on with it.  However, after a couple of enquiries, I've
found out that pretty much nowhere in Dublin sells decent LCD panels
that I could use for it.. it got me thinking.

I have three options.

1. Order one from the States.  I'm not very patient, so I don't think
   this is much of an option.
2. Someone has hacked together a copy of LCDProc to run on a Palm...
   I've got an unused palm floating around, but this seems like
   overkill.
and finally (the most fun)...
3. Grab one of the many half-dead gameboys around my room, hack together
   some sort of connection (there are lots of schematics dotted around
   the internet), and take it from there.

2 and 3 would be nice, because with a bit of work, I could control an
mp3 queue piping into a few rooms around the house..

Anyway, I'm wondering what people's thoughts on this are.  Has anyone
tried any of the above for themselves?
