As of me not getting anywhere with trying to explain, I don't want this anymore
SpoilerModerators: if this is not in the correct section, please move it.

Hi there! I have a suggestion for a peripheral for CC 1.53 and mc 1.5.2.

A flatscreen monitor! A monitor, thats flat. As I can't code in Java, I can't make peripherals.

Thanks for reading and maybe considering this. //Mackan90096

Maybe he means a 'thin' monitor like say, the size of one of RP2's covers or something? That's my best guess.

Why?

Flat monitors would not take up as much space as a regular one.

But it still takes up a block, can you elaborate maybe?

Maybe he thinks it's nice as a decorative block or something, That'd be my guess anyway

I can imagine it working with Multi part so you can conceal wires while keeping the functional use of monitors.

I like whitefusion's take on this, useing multipart to help conceal wires with flat monitors…. the only issue is the tile entity for a computer still would take up the entire block….. This would be a really good thing though

…………………… O.o well a TileEntity doesn't really take up any space, the block takes the space, the TileEntity is linked to the block. If multipart support was added the cables and such would still take up the entire block. No matter the size of the thing at a space it takes up an entire block, that is how Minecraft works, it's a list of the blocks, and if something is in that entry it takes up the whole block. In this case it would also be able to accept other metadata and render those multipart 'blocks' with it.
