Thin monitors?

How about making thin monitors(LCDs) and sticking em up wall/floor/ceiling like paintings?
Imagine an entire room having an animated floor. Or your bedroom ceiling having animated stars :)/>
Star wars like monitors hung everywhere!
Coat your entire house with them and you can change your house colour at the click of a button :D/>
Maybe some people would even make animated textures and stuff.
Pretty awesome.
Now that we have peripheral cables, it would be fairly easy to implement :D/>

ADDENDUM:
Please make coloured computers/monitors ie dye them with different colours. This makes organisation far more efficient. Also aesthetics :D/>

In the new beta we can already place monitors on ceilings and floors.

There is no advantage to this. it would still take up an entire block of space.

I think you might be able to do that yourself already by simply replacing the textures of the monitor's sides and back? I.e. replace them with blank textures.
Just a suggestion, haven't tried it myself. But might be worth a try.

It wont work :)/>
I want it to be hung up on the wall/floor/ceiling like a painting.
The entire block takes space. The painting thing is just there on the wall. I know I cant place more stuff within the bounding box but at least I wont collide with it.

Peripherals can not be entities. Hence this won't happen. If you want this, just recess the monitor in the wall - has the same effect.

You dont need an entity. How about one of those super thin blocks like panels and covers in Redpower? I am sure they are blocks.

BTW You cant put two monitors at 90 degrees outward. But you can do the same with Redpower panels and covers.

I'm gonna go ahead and lock this before you put your foot any further in your mouth. :)/>/>
