You all prolly dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Karson Jabari i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
i was thinking of you the other day when i garbage picked a 36" lcd tv, got it home, turned it on to test and the lcd portion was cracked. i already did the lcd side panel thanks to you, so this find would have been used for a monitor or an... actual tv. then i realized that since the led backlight still works... why not convert it into a giant led lighting source for filming video and photos! so i did! and man is it bright! on the particular model i had all i needed was the backlight panel/light difusers, power board/cord, and mounted the on/off button to a light wood frame. it makes a great light box for drawing/tracing, too. also i don't know if most monitors/tvs are like this, but there are actually only 8-10 mega blinding leds for the whole 36" tv. so... in theory you could forget about high density light strips for the snowblind lighting and mount these 8-10 dime sized leds instead and have sufficient backlight with a smaller footprint maybe? thought i'd share, cuz sharing is glaring!
Are the leds on a board or a strip? Do they run on 12V or 24V? I might stick with the high density leds because they work and I don't have to strip a TV to get them. I'm glad to hear you were inspired to create a led lighting source out of the TV, thats very cool. Thanks for sharing that, I love to hear the stories.
@@ImmodderNation man.. i have way to much to say for this time o'clock. i'm going to put some type of no effort vid showing how it's setup now and also some shots it part by part.... so until then....
I'm currently in the process of doing one in my crystal 570 x case. I didn't even need to rewire anything. Using all the stock boards. Only thing I need to do is figure out the lighting source. Btw, you can use black automotive rtv sealant on each corner of the lcd panel to "glue" it to the tempered glass.
i was trying 3 days to make this project and today i broke the board of the screen. what an idiot i am😭😭. Thanks so much for all the info about that amazing project.
I literally just read this comment as I was doing this project and though "must suck for him", 10 mins later I accidentally dropped the LCD panel onto tiles and cracked the entire screen.
Appreciate the video. I found a random monitor and gutted it. Started cutting cables until it powered off, found the 5v and used a random ground wire to connect to a 4 pin fan header, which then plugs into my mother board. Worked like a charm. I honestly find the hardest part trying to make motherboard armor for a white background. Anyways, you the man. Thanks.
Your channel is growing, and what I think is a topic not even touched very much by the bigger channels is sleeper builds, where you'd get a really old PC (early-mid 2000s, sometimes even 90s) and then mount current gen parts in it. The point of this would probably be for someone who loves the old aesthetic but wants modern hardware. This is also very difficult at times due to the mounting mechanism being very incompatible, leading to just making your own. The only real example I have seen of this from a large (1m+ subs) channel is when linus tech tips recently put a PC in an xbox original
Alot of the bigger channels focus on reviewing products. I think EnviousMods has a themed sleeper for CyberPunk 2077 but bigger channels definitely haven't.
COBs are a bad idea for this for multiple reasons: 1) They def. need additional heatsinks, which means more spacing between them and your case walls, which will make them harder to hide. (not to mention that extra heat) 2) They're going to be "spotlights", ie they'll be identifiable as light source by the way the light will be uneven compared to an all around strip. 3) They'll require a specialized power supply to deliver constant current. High power COBs most likely won't run off of 12V either (so the power supply for them will have to be an AC powered one) And yeah, OLEDs won't work unless they're already transparent OLEDs; in which case they'd work even better, because they could reproduce accurate color without painting your hardware white, eliminating the need for a backlight altogether.
@@XXDarkDrekXX That is possible, but I think probably not a good solution. Sure the case is all metal, but mostly it'll be cheap (ie not aluminium), which makes the heat transfer ability questionable in this application. Also the sidepanels don't make good thermal contact, so all you have to radiate heat is the frame. The case also isn't designed to radiate heat. Overall I think it'll make a poor heatsink and with high powered COB LEDs that is probably gonna shorten their lifespan considerably.
There are some computer companies that make cases as heatsinks. They're mostly servers for military application, but its possible. If you don't mind the noise too much, active cooling is always a better choice.
@@ImmodderNation I suppose you can just scratchbuild a case for that purpose. Doesn't detract from the other problems like the spotlight effect though. There are high powered LED strips these days, I don't remember which type you used, but if I remember correctly the 5630 LEDs should still be the brightes kind, plus you can look for really high density ones. Which would then be almost like a COB LED on a string rather than in a spot. Also I'm wondering if for once you'd get a better result with RGB strips rather than white strips. When you think about it, the RGB color strips should better correspond to the RGB subpixels of any LCD/TFT panel, potentially transmitting more of the actual light.
Would it be possible to use the standard power brick/cable the monitor ships with to power the LCD instead of soldering an wiring? (Because I don’t have the Tools and Knowledge and can’t seem to find a guide that explains it for absolute newbies to electronics)
Also, I found out that instead of rewiring the power cables, just buy a universal driver with AC power! And then buy a usb to AC 5v to 12v step up! Makes it even easier to power up the LCD!
@@ImmodderNation i may have broken a twitter or something. i never use it and i know nothing. i feel like helen keller first day driving a car ever... and it's not an automatic! i also don't know rules about posting links to my own crap. or if youtube just blocks them. the vid is called "uploadit" on my channel. very much still there... even w/o people watching it.
should call the kit product a "LCD side panel window", as "side panel kit" could mean just about anything other than a screen in your side panel, and "side panel screens" are already a thing for hardware monitoring, and are very different to this.
Hey, i don't know if you still answer these comments, but i'll give it a shot. So i have done everything needed to build it, but i cannot figure out what connections i am supposed to use. I don't want to kill my USB ports so i use a 5 volt charger with a cut usb port. I have the posetive and negative cord but just guessing which combination of the 16 ports i am supposed to use is nearly impossible. On the backlight PCB there is a marking by the 4th port saying 5V, so i tried that one with both negative and posetive with combination with the one above. Im not getting any image on the screen still, im out of ideas on what to do.
Hey dude! great channel!! would it be easier to do it with a usb powered portable monitor? as you would only need to do the separating the screen process and hopefully would not need any soldering or adding of extra parts
Would I be crazy to try this out on my obsidian 1000d? I am still learning about all of this but I saw crystal displays offer up some larger square lcd panels.
I would double check the window size with the size of the monitor to make sure it fits. 900d is massive, so I can only imagine the 1000d is even bigger.
You were right about that one. 😉 Ofcourse there are alternatives. I did a whole video on powering your electronics. You could use SATA power to get 5V and 12V, but it's going to be more difficult.
This light guide panel is different from computer monitors in that the dots need to be far apart that you can see through the display but close enough together that they add contrast to the image. Companies that print them want too much to make it worth it.
Or inside to the outside. The output to the driver board is DVI with runs into my graphics card. I think it might be possible the convert hdmi to motherboard 9 pin USB, but I've only seen it with portable monitors.
Hey man, my Ultrasharp 1907fp came and I am having the hardest time getting the main board out. I took out all the visible screws from the standoffs/heatsinks and from the I/O side, but for some reason it does NOT want to let me take it out. Wasn’t sure if this was something you’ve encountered before ... I see absolutely nothing holding it in aside from the I/O parts but it won’t budge even when I push on them from the outside
I would check carefully for screws. There's usually one or two that you don't see on first inspection. Depending on where the board resists will tell you where the screw might be. Good luck
Hello out there sir. I have just one question for you.? Have you seen the *{In Win 309} with LED front panel. It look's like a killer front panel. Do you think something like that.

Hello there! so i tried out this mod for myself and i have successfully installed it but the image im seeing on the lcd is so very faint i almost thought it wasnt working. how can i adjust the bightness and contrast?
@@ImmodderNation nvidia, I figured it out. I took one too many layers off the LCD. I peeled off the dark layer from the LCD. (the side that faces away from you) and I think that was my issue. ill have to start over
I have a broken acer predator XB271H. I'm wanting to peel it apart and use it. The good news is I don't have a case bought, so I can choose one that will work exactly with this monitor. (Within reason- obviously it has to fit my motherboard...) Do you know if it would work? And if it does, because it can hit high frame rates, is it realistic I could play a game from my case lmao 🤣
I would take the monitor apart and test the LCD before you buy a case. Otherwise you have a broken display and an extra case. Will it work, yes it should work. Can you game on it? It'll be difficult to see the games on it. HardwareCanucks made a video with the iBuyPower Snowblind and they put a white backdrop behind the display to make it work with CS GO.
@@ImmodderNation Thank you for the advice. I will take it apart before I buy a case. The white backdrop is a good idea for those instances! I probably won't game on it regularly, but it is a fun novelty idea.
After way too many months, I made a little video showing my LCD Side Panel mod in a micro-atx case! The Define Mini C TG has a tempered glass side panel that isn't tinted at all and looks amazing. Also FYI, my dell monitor was 3.3v, not 5v! Just posted the vid here, lemme know what you think! th-cam.com/video/a22ldRGOo1k/w-d-xo.html
That looks great, super clean! I like your black vinyl idea on the tempered glass for masking out the LCD. Not many cases with tempered glass that aren't tinted, good find!
in answer to the question @ 13.30 heres the youtube vid of the Grid [Psychedelic Animation] th-cam.com/video/OWa5rzEOumQ/w-d-xo.html finally got mine up and running after waiting for some ribbon cable a extensions and joining clips from aliexpress as the lcd i used had pcb along the bottom and down one side, so now with the ribbons extended i can tuck the pcb's out of sight
Yeah if people are stupid rich and get an oled screen to do this with, they’d just need to remove the back black-filter, and it would work without extra light

Did you ever find a way of mounting an lcd to a tempered glass panel?
Seems like a lot of people are using Loca glue. I don't have a tempered glass case to experiment with.
@@ImmodderNation ill send you my pc case if you need one lol but just send it back I haven't used my pc for about 3 months waiting to get a better gcard
Thank you for the offer Seifer but not necessary.
I know this is old but I'm doing this with a tft LCD...but can't get it to be clear it's like it has sunglasses on...but the wet towel trick did nothing after 24 hours I don't even know it it is a glare cover
You have to check with manufacturer to see if it has antiglare on it. You also need a bright enough light to shine through otherwise it looks dark.
@@ImmodderNation well I broke it so next screen...grate vid tho and thx for the reply
You're welcome. Good luck and happy modding.
Hello there! so i tried out this mod for myself and i have successfully installed it but the image im seeing on the lcd is so very faint i almost thought it wasnt working. how can i adjust the bightness and contrast?
Through your graphics cards control panel. Do you have AMD or Nvidia?
@@ImmodderNation nvidia, I figured it out. I took one too many layers off the LCD. I peeled off the dark layer from the LCD. (the side that faces away from you) and I think that was my issue. ill have to start over
That sucks I'm sorry
good.. i’m trying to make on tempered glass.. thx a lot..
You're welcome and again, good luck! Thanks for your question.
Any luck ? I’ll be attempting this in a few weeks
All you really need to worry about is attaching the LCD and blacking out the parts of glass you're not using.
I have a broken acer predator XB271H. I'm wanting to peel it apart and use it. The good news is I don't have a case bought, so I can choose one that will work exactly with this monitor. (Within reason- obviously it has to fit my motherboard...) Do you know if it would work? And if it does, because it can hit high frame rates, is it realistic I could play a game from my case lmao 🤣
I would take the monitor apart and test the LCD before you buy a case. Otherwise you have a broken display and an extra case. Will it work, yes it should work. Can you game on it? It'll be difficult to see the games on it. HardwareCanucks made a video with the iBuyPower Snowblind and they put a white backdrop behind the display to make it work with CS GO.
@@ImmodderNation Thank you for the advice. I will take it apart before I buy a case. The white backdrop is a good idea for those instances! I probably won't game on it regularly, but it is a fun novelty idea.
@@alexandria5420 Try it. Not easy at all with mine.
After way too many months, I made a little video showing my LCD Side Panel mod in a micro-atx case! The Define Mini C TG has a tempered glass side panel that isn't tinted at all and looks amazing. Also FYI, my dell monitor was 3.3v, not 5v! Just posted the vid here, lemme know what you think! th-cam.com/video/a22ldRGOo1k/w-d-xo.html
That looks great, super clean! I like your black vinyl idea on the tempered glass for masking out the LCD. Not many cases with tempered glass that aren't tinted, good find!
in answer to the question @ 13.30 heres the youtube vid of the Grid [Psychedelic Animation] th-cam.com/video/OWa5rzEOumQ/w-d-xo.html finally got mine up and running after waiting for some ribbon cable a extensions and joining clips from aliexpress as the lcd i used had pcb along the bottom and down one side, so now with the ribbons extended i can tuck the pcb's out of sight
I want to see pics or videos when you are done!
How? I can't post them on here... I'll have to find a free pic upload site
PM me on any social media. @immoddernation
@@ImmodderNation send a couple of vids on facebook messenger
Could you DM me on Instagram? I'd love to feature you
Yeah if people are stupid rich and get an oled screen to do this with, they’d just need to remove the back black-filter, and it would work without extra light
Probably but I'm not gonna waste the money to find out.
I'm waiting for microled to go down in price
@@ImmodderNation Nice! Yeah, microled would be dope
OLED is dying tech anyway. Also I've heard reports it's problematic. Sure is pretty though
