Subject: [sdiy] PC-based synth advice


Hi all,
I'm working on a PC based synth: I use a single-board PC with some
components: HD, FDD,DACs and of course a power supply; all this placed into
a aluminium box.
I would like to use my system in two situation: studio, where I will use the
VGA output and a monitor and stage where I'd like to use simple LCD. Here is
the problem: I can find LCD displays (in Italy) only at a cost twice than US
and other countries. My question is the following: Does someone knows some
place where I can buy a LCD display (2 * 40 characters could be enought) for
a reasonable preice ?(possibly in Europe, so the delivery cost will be low)
A 40*2 display cost me about 60$.
P.S. I someone has already build a system like mine (as I seen by some
mails) or has some idea, I'd like to have some advice. For example: the PC
power supply is quite noisy, I'd like to place it in another box, is this a
good idea?
Thank you.
