Hey everyone,
I was thinking about trying to make an "active" marquee using an old laptop (or just the LCD out of it), a fresnel lens, and a piece of the "glass" from a junked rear projection TV. Could this work?

I guess my biggest question is how to get the laptop (or 2nd vid card in PC) to display the marquee .png? I'm using an ATI w/S-vid out to a TV. How can I set up software to display the game on the TV but the corresponding marquee on the LCD?

If you know of any URL's that can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!
