I'm looking for a 7" monitor for under $40 USD to connect to my computer via usb or through my available display port on my gpu, which ever way providing it will not interrupt my current 3x monitor resolution.
I want to use this monitor to display Trinity's avatar or full ultra Hal program on the front of my custom pc case. eventually mounting a water filled globe with a flat surface to the screen for a snow globe effect

Please can you guys help me find one, did I say please

I was able to find 3.5" ones like this in the link below with rca jacks, but unsure if they would work plus I would really prefer a 7" display.

Many have mentioned the more than passing resemblance between the New Pope and Jim Bowen, I think this may just prove the point.

As those of us who have Windows 8 are well aware, Windows 8 treats logging off, rebooting and shutting down a but differently than it's predecessors, and some of us, myself included and especially, have found it to be a pain to get to where we can tell the OS what to do in these respects. I'm sure that you all are aware of various 3rd party "solutions" that address this in one form or another, and in all honesty, I use a couple of those 3rd party apps myself, though for other reasons. I've also seen blogs and articles on how to create desktop shortcuts to accomplish the actions I'm referring to, and I've created these shortcuts, and up until today, have used them, but no more.

You see, the primary disadvantage to using these custom created Windows shortcuts for logging off, restarting the computer and shutting down is that there's no confirmation, no warning, and no chance to recover if you make a mistake. I found out the full impact of this earlier today, when I had a couple of apps open, some with unsaved work, and accidentally activated the "shutdown" shortcut when I intended to open SpeedFan (desktop navigation with the keyboard while the shortcuts are hidden behind windows is a dangerous thing, lol). Suddenly, without any notice at all, my computer is shutting down, and there's not a blessed, bloody thing I can do about it! I wanted to scream! And to top it all off, the shutdown process FORCED all of my apps to close, so that unsaved work I mentioned? Lost.

When I finally got over my rage attack, I sat down, pulled open "Batch File Programming for Dummies", and went to work.

The interesting thing about all of the 3 shortcuts for "leaving Windows" is that they all call the same file: shortcut.exe - The only difference between the shortcuts are the command line switches they send to the program, so that got me to thinking. I already knew that the MSDOS file choice.exe (or more accurately, it's Win32 equivalent) still exists, mainly for legacy reasons, so that gave me an idea about how to "fix" the problem of sudden accidental shutdown. What follows is that "fix":


@echo off

REM verify_intentions.bat
REM Verifies that you do, indeed, want to shut down, reboot, or log off
REM Accepts one command line argument, of either "logoff", "restart" or "shutdown" and acts accordingly. Any other value
REM passed (including an empty value) is treated as an "unrecognized command", and ignored.

if "%1"=="" goto unrecognised_command
echo Please verify your intentions.

if "%1"=="shutdown" set label=turn your computer off
