RE: I need the advice of one of our MB/CPU experts beofre I jump

Rick,

Since the experts haven't weighed in, I thought I'd offer my opinion...

I looked at one of these USB monitors about this time last summer when I was starting to gather the parts for the super-case that I have yet to build.

I decided against them after thinking about how they must get their signal. They require a separate driver which has to intercept the video signal, likely after it has been processed by the mobo hardware (in the case of a cMP, the processor) AND then do a conversion into USB format AND route it through the USB connection. I just couldn't see any way this wouldn't add to the mobo processing burden.

So my advice is no to this. OTOH, I did pickup this small touchscreen monitor with regular VGA input:

I want to disable the AV chips before I use it, but it looks to be a pretty good alternative.

Later!
