For those that are interested, would probably know by now Dell X50V VGA presentation bundle cost almost $140 and not avaliable in Singapore.

I intend to DIY 1 VGA Cable for myself.
However, I have order enough parts to make 2.(just in case 1st time fails). In the event, I managed to DIY 2 VGA Cable, I intend to sell 1 off.

To ensure good connection, Dell original sync connector will be used to make the VGA cable. Heat Shrinks (as insulators) will be used for all solder joints as a safety precaution.

If you are interested to get this DIY VGA Cable (only), do let me know. (I have yet to decide the price, of course much cheaper than dell bundle)

thanks for reading.

Anyway, 1 point to add, it will be a 1.5m long X50V VGA cable.
(instead of 6 inch X50V original, which i think is not practical at all, as it just too short)

Below are some photos of DIY Cable image and external display at 640X480 & 1024X768 resolutions. (using latest beta Nyditot that support X50V external display)

Quite a few people PM me on my extra DIY Cable, if you are seriously interest, kindly PM with your contact number.

PS:

1. This cable is Handmade, and my only spare. 1st come serve.

2. Cable is "sold as it is".

3. VGA only, no data sync, no charger adapter.

4. My intial intention is purely for my personal use.
Thus cost of parts are not my primary concern.
I selling it $40. (my parts already cost me $35).

If you can get it elsewhere cheaper, please kindly do so.

5. Meet at Sim Lim Sqaure, so that you can try out the cable before buying.
(with the LCD or monitors there !)
