[QUOTE="mxtime, post: 1182632, member: 178943"] Here are some pic or progress so far... In image 74 is the panel that I need to connect the monitor and power to.. looking for the best way to do that... I'm thinking about putting a DVI jumper cable to the displayport adapter and leaving the displayport adapter inside the case, and run a displayport to displayport cable from the imac to the second screen.. Also in image 77 is the touch panel to turn on the monitor.. trying to figure out where to put that... thinking about maybe in the bottom as seen in image 84.. I just have it mocked up with duct tape holding the screen to the glass at the moment.. I still have not turned it on to see if the image covers the viewable area...
