+# Project
+Swap out the internals with something bearable. Design adapters for display and tailgate I/O board
+Side I/O could also work with an adapter
+Back of case is no problem (besides PSU specific mounting method) since I do not have the original plastic back for it
+D print something after internals are settled
+## Display
+LVDS
+{{ :projects:g121sn01-v3.pdf | Display datasheet}}
+## Power supply
+W PI Electronics from 2006 (!). Failing fan. Proprietary cradle for locking in case.
+Could swap out internals with something modern.
+# Temporary system
+windows 7 and linux dualboot
+linux xorg on this thing is hell
+xvesa works from tinycorelinux
+too much working porting it over to alpine
+gonna just use tinycore on this
+works okay
+can use as dumb terminal for a more powerful computer
