Does anywhere know where I could get a small LCD monitor? By small I mean perhaps 8" to 10". VGA or DVI, doesn't matter.

Actually, for my desktop. I like the idea of dual screens, but I really don't want another full sized monitor on my desk. It would be better for me to have my nice 19" LCD in front of me at it's native resolution for whatever I'm primarly doing, then a smaller one off to the side at 640x480 to have just my music player and Gaim on.

No, I was suggesting automotive.

Looking in the automotive areas for small screens like that, you could get a flat screen TV for close to the same price & hang it on a wall above your desk.

But then again, how cool would it be to rig one of thoose automotive monitors with the touch screen up for your music player. :P

Other than that, I'm out of ideas for small monitors. :(

The problem with small displays (below 14") is that they tend to cost quite a lot more than the larger displays. Your best bet is to look into the automotive sector where you'll be able to find all kinds of sizes of monitor, and they run off of 12v so you can wire them up to your box.
