Anyone know how to connect a 7" lcd monitor inside an Xbox?

hey just wondering how you connect a lcd monitor internally. I have done it externally but thats for a bigger monitor, i want to connect one to a smaller monitor inside the xbox. F@G modded xbox for example. My friend wants me to help (or in my understanding do) an xbox with a monitor in it. The references to benhecks TUT  to hacking up an lcd are old and confusing, if someone could clear it up a bit for me it would be great. =)   (or give me another reference)

Can you post what type of LCD you are looking at installing so we can find the right way to hookup that type of monitor.  Most monitors use a VGA cable to attach it so I suggest internalizing the Xbox's AV output slot and to purchase an official Xbox VGA cable.  To do this it is much like moving an xbox thumbstick attaching wires to the corresponding slots on the motherboard and the AV jack.  Next you would have to shorten the vga cable by cutting the cable and reconnecting the wires.  Then you can plug it into the moniter from the inside of the xbox and if you are realy handy you can seal the original av slot so that it looks like the xbox came with the monitor built into it.  This is just my solution if someone finds a better way to accomplsh this please post it here and help bozoy.  And if you find somthing wrong with my way please correct me.

ok thanks,
 I have a official vga cable but I dont know what type of monitor i should get. If you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated. I probably will hook it up somewhat how you said its just i need to know what slots are which pin because i know that theres a r,g,b and grounds.

So long as the screen you purchase atleast has a resolution of 640x480 which is minimum of xbox vga you should be fine setting this up.  PLEASE make sure of your xbox's voltage output when you merge the power so you know if you need to add resistors or capacitors to lower or raise the voltage to keep the lcd from burning out or being faded.
