    Hi Sergio,

    Interesting project, not seen anything in print , but as for ideas and parts you may want to check out some of the custom car parts suppliers - I've seen a few custom builds using laptop screens for video output

    You might like this one better. Turn an Old Laptop into a Wall-Mounted Computer - Laptops - Lifehacker

    Since you only have the screen, you may be able to improvise on this particular method to make yourself a very small computer in the same way that can ebe used for watching movies and such.
