thanks for the advice Distraught, we looked at pfsense boxes, didn't like the $500 starting price for what we need. I've been reading that by installing an sd card and making it the routers dedicated FTP server, I can install apps on it that function in tandem with the router OS, one of these...

to be more precise, our main concern surrounds the fact that by Italian law (where the office is located) we are commanded to be able to track all users of our internet, to be able to report the identity of a person(his/her ip at the time and sites visited with that ip) who has broken the law if...

hey Joe, yeah the one i bought is exactly like those. I invit eyou to check the pictures i posted, I knwo they're not very clear but with enough squiting you cna probalby make out that there is an image showing on the lcd and that it is backlit, i'll do another test of the LCD with a pc attached...

Been looking into it and i found PiCast 2.0, which has all the functionality of the raspberry pi as far as I can tell in addition to being focused on streaming media including yoru desktop to an attached screen from an outside source via wifi... a portable wifi enabled monitor... this'll take a...

hey trotter, Unlimited thanks for sharing your time with me. I'll suggest this idea you outlined, which is similar to what i had in mind, could I ask you arm me with something to say in defense against comments like : 'but we want a hands free way of managing this issue' 'they can just share...

thanks for the welcome people. i'm finding that i might need to contact certain more experienced members directly through pm, i imagine it's hard for them to be in every forum section at once, I might be missing out on great advice just by posting in one small section! Carnage has been really...

hi guys, I've been tasked with the security of our network over in our small office where we have many visitors who are given access temporarily (sometimes over the period of a month and sometimes they ask for access for a year) and I'm tryign to tackle a problem that might arise with this sort...

no need to throw it away, i figured a link to a thread i've made elsewhere might be useful for those discussing laptops. Find information on how to make your laptops screen into an external or primary monitor for your new PC or laptop here: (no hardware knowledge required)...

carnage you should absolutely do it. it's really very self explanatory and easy to put together.. i imagine the part I'm on now is the most difficult... which is making the monitor look presentable.. but if you're not one for aesthetics, then it's a 10 minute job from the moment you have...

hey guys, I jsut read a thread on here by gallen which started out like this: I'm looking to inform myself for my own interest on how something like the portable monitor I'm making could be made to run .avis, .mpeg etc.. from a usb. gallen gave me the idea.. thank you gallen if you're...

oh also, i'd be happy to inform you on how to build your own! although most of the information you need is already available in my thread. it is entitled (building a monitor from scratch)

Hi Gallen, you're the first person i've spoken to who would want somethign liek that... and what you're describing is exactly what i'm trying to build as a hobby... my thread detailing the contruction process is 2 threads above yours right now.. take a look.. is that the sort of thing you'd...

hey carnage, the core variable for getting the right card for the monitor you're looking to restore/repurpose is the model number which is clearly visible on the back of any dismantled LCD's back lighting panel. I typed the model number into ebay and I found a hong kong manufacturer and...

http://s22.postimg.org/kvvi2uoep/monitor_1.jpg here's my makeshift workstation in the yet unfinished coworking office i talked about in my new members introduction area thread. my sister and fellow architect hard at work xD here is the 17" monitor with teh control card attached and powered...

Thanks for the interest Joe, I found a video after i posted that explains the process in a pretty detailed manner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SOXMDb4cjI Turns out I should've called it a controller board! only takes 6V to power the screen and board the guy uses in the video too, might...
