Old things turn waste into treasure! Digital photo frames can still play like this?

Recently, I have seen many articles about using AIDA 64 software to create a system monitoring sub-screen in the chassis. It seems that the shining headlights can no longer satisfy the DIY players who are looking for a sense of cool. As a veteran driver who installs the machine, he naturally inevitably wants to follow the trend and want a desktop computer with a sense of futuristic technology, so he has a set of AMD R9 3900X real fragrance machine, which must add a secondary screen to show his personality.

This article will put aside the installation process, focus on the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of several known secondary screen construction methods, how to create a high-value secondary screen with only a hundred yuan budget, and the actual installation of the secondary screen. PS: The low-cost, low-difficulty, and high-value methods I introduced are unique on Aunt Zhang's platform. You must like, collect, and invest in three consecutive qualities! ! !

[Pros and cons of several secondary screen solutions]

At present, the mainstream secondary screen installation method is to build a WEB web server with AIDA 64 software, and output the screen through the browser access of the local machine or mobile device under the same local area network. This principle method has been written by a great god. Repeated, talk about the advantages and disadvantages that I thought of when trying to try.

"Used mobile phones and tablets"

The first is to embed the idle mobile phones and tablets in the chassis as displays. The advantage is that it turns waste into valuables with zero cost, and there are many disadvantages: 1. The frame of mobile phones and tablets is not well matched with the chassis, and the aesthetics is slightly worse. 2. The synchronization with the computer is not high. It is necessary to solve the problem of synchronizing the switch of the mobile phone and the computer (remove the battery?), start the browser automatically (obtain the ROOT permission), and keep the sync bright screen (already fixed).

The Mi2 Pad I tried to use, because I couldn’t get the ROOT permission, I almost replaced it with a long-used Raspberry Pi with a screen. It’s too tired to think about it. Even if the installation is complete, it’s not easy to fix, so forget it. Right.

"External second screen"

The second is to buy a simple LCD panel to connect the second screen through the HDMI interface. This method is much simpler, just open the browser on this machine. The disadvantage is that you have to manually open the browser and drag it to the secondary screen every time you turn on the computer, which makes it difficult to force the frame to decrease. And in actual use, the mouse is easy to accidentally move to the secondary screen, causing false touches.
