I'll show you how to build your own IBUYPOWER "Snowblind" style LCD case window for LESS THAN $100.
I destroyed two LCDs and monitor adjustment control board in the process. I purchased the wrong LED strip lighting which will be fixed in Version 2.0. This project took me three weeks to complete, but its much cheaper than buying a Snowblind PC.
VERSION 2.0 IS HERE! - • BUILD A TRANSPARENT LC...

@phillipmasur5277 6 лет назад

Awesome dude. I built two with the expense of just one lcd. I wish your video was around then. I already owned a 90% white case on the second one so just a little bit of airbrushing here and there helped. I also implemented the cfl bulbs from the monitor for extra light. Didnt mess with my thermals too much. Love your work.

@ImmodderNation 6 лет назад

I loved the way that yours turned out. I need to get another LCD for the second version. How did you implement the CFL bulbs, did you keep the power inverter board from the monitor mounted in the case? I'm curious to see how you did it. Thank you for the compliment!

@phillipmasur5277 6 лет назад

Yeah, the case had a compartment for a rad at the top that i just repurposed to hold the lcd hardware. A Sony SDM-HS95P (GLOSSY) monitor i got for 20 bucks off craigslist is what i used. I can put up a video of the inside to better show you the layout.

@MeekUnholy 5 лет назад

Great video, thanks. Can this mod be done with an LED screen? I apologize if this has already been asked.

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

No need to apologize. The mod can be performed with both. Be aware that LED monitor could mean a display where individual pixels have their own backlight, like an OLED display, so this mod would be constructed differently. Some "LED monitors" are LCD displays with LED backlights. Make sure you know which one you're working with.

@1003Alfred 6 лет назад

I have the same monitor as yours and now figuring out which power cable goes to which, except for the 5v wire there is one extra wire that requires 3 volts. how could I wire that to the molex cable?

@ImmodderNation 6 лет назад

You would need to wire the 5v to the 12v and use a resistor to bring down the voltage. Google "Resistor Calculator" to find the value that you need. If you really have the same monitor just wire it like I have.

@Hellsong89 5 лет назад

This is pretty cool idea, how ever when on PC i really dont see point of having extra things moving in your peripheral vision, power it takes to run this setup considering how much you actually look at it, heat it will generate inside your your case with and clutter it will fill pc with, depending on monitor used. Personally this is not for me as only reason for the window and light inside is to keep eye on dust build up.

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

It's for aesthetic value, not function. Consider that the computer inside is drawing much more current than the lighting or display. I find myself distracted by it a lot, especially while editing videos. These LEDs don't produce much heat and it hasn't affected any of my overclocks. I mean if the only reason you have a window on your computer is to monitor dust, I imagine a lot of my channels projects are not for you.

@lukasvobr7224 5 месяцев назад

Hello, I would like to ask how you managed to pull off the anti-reflective film (layer) so nicely, because when I tried to tear it off, the polarizing layer also came off. I did it by putting some paper tissues on it and soaking it and leaving it there for 24 hours and watering every once in a while, but it didn't work. Do you know any other method or advice please?

@ImmodderNation 5 месяцев назад

Don't do what JayzTwoCents did. I would use another type of absorbant cloth. Everything else in your method seems fine. 24 hours may be too long. 6 hours should be long enough. Make sure your monitor has anti glare on it first as you may be pulling off the polarizer instead. Don't tear anything it should come off easily.

@krabbypatty1334 2 года назад

I have removed the anti glare film, after this should the monitor be transparent or should it still be opaque do to the black sheet on the back?

@ImmodderNation 2 года назад

Antiglare film should be clear. Do not remove black film. That is polarization and would ruin your display if you remove it. The lcd will still be black without power.

@kevin1smid 5 лет назад

Could I do this with a modern monitor? I have a few samsung syncmasters that id love to try this with but dont know if its possible with a tn panel?

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

Possible yes as they're both TFT LCD. Just beware that TN panels typically have bad viewing angles and lack the color gamut of other panels like IPS. Hopefully modern monitors have fixed that.

@alessiopellati 5 лет назад

@toomanyyokes6415 5 лет назад

Hey I am attempting this mod and was wondering what type of glue you recommend in order to bind the panel to the acrylic sheet, I don't want to use tape as that seems like an inefficient method that will eventually loose its hold all together.

@ImmodderNation 5 лет назад

I don't have V2.0 posted yet, but I ended up gluing a shelf made of acrylic to hold up the LCD panel. You can see it in the Science of Snowblind video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WagINqONeMM.html

I want to put it inside a gas mask helmet thing to project on the glass

@ImmodderNation 6 лет назад

Curved monitor? Sure, all you need is a curved computer case. LCDs are not flexible, they're rigid plastic. If you find a flexible display that might be cool to try.

Use Google to find a pinout of your molex. Molex connectors are unidirectional meaning they only connect one way. Find your 5V and ground. LCD only needs 5V.

How do i know which wires on the power board are needed? I have the same monitor and didn't want to ruin my psu or other components

@ImmodderNation 6 лет назад

You don't! I kept the original power board and cut wires one at a time, checking to make sure it didn't turn off the monitor. If it does, reconnect the wires. Then I disconnect the wires from the power board of the monitor and connected it to the PSU with a molex connector. If you switch the positive and negative wires you'll trip the power supply. Good luck!

@JayAmp. 6 лет назад

ImmodderNation will tripping the power supply ruin it?

@ImmodderNation 6 лет назад

Probably not. Hard to say because I have a Corsair RM power supply. It shuts off to protect itself from damage. Your power supply might not have such a feature, but I imagine most modern PSUs do. If you have a 5V power supply that would also work.

+Gavin Walsh USB monitors only come in 16:9 aspect ratio. I needed a 4:3. Otherwise you have to fill in more of the window on the case. If I were using a case that has 16:9 dimensions that would probably be the route I would have gone.

Did you see the "new" display of Sun Vision "Featuring RLCD Technology" ?? Are you able to replace the backlight with a mirror or any other reflective material to convert/make own RLCD ? some kind of DIY.

@ImmodderNation Год назад

I watched the video. The backlight is replaced with a reflective material. I don't know if its mirror or metallic, but I imagine you would lose some transparency because of it. Also it requires an external light source, meaning the light outside the case would have to be brighter than inside. I don't know how I would adapt this for a PC case.

I've got the LCD completely removed from the housing, the main board came out in one piece (attached to the secondary board via the cluster of 11 cables) but I'm having a hard time understanding how the power gets to it. I need to plug the board back into the wall outlet, and start cutting wires from the cluster until the monitor powers off, letting me know which 2 are necessary? Afterwards soldering the cut ends to the molex which gets the juice from the psu, correct? Sorry to bother, I'm just so close and I really don't wanna half-ass this and start over again.

I'm using a dell 1908 fpt (everyone's mileage may very on different models, I know) and I started cutting wires until I lost power to the monitor. Thing is, I have 5 wires left after I lost power. Still plugged in are 2 black (first and last slots) 1 Red (slot 9) , 1 Grey (slot 3 ) and when I cut the power to yellow (slot 7) that's when I lost power. So do I actually need all 5 of those wires to keep the power on, or do I need to solder yellow back together, and cut a different one and hope it stays on? Sorry to keep bothering you, but if you have any advice I'd really appreciate it.

@ImmodderNation 7 лет назад

+The Gaming Freak Hey Gaming Freak. I don't have the measurements for an nzxt s340, but if you have one you could measure it. How many sheets you get depends upon how big the sheets are where you're buying acrylic. For eplastics.com, their minimum is 2 ft x 4 ft. I only needed one. For thickness I went with 1/8" thick for its durability, 1/16" could work too but I didn't want it to be that thin. In the video I explained 5:4 is the best commercial screen ratio for my case window. A perfect square 1:1 would be ideal but few manufacturers make them like that. You want a high contrast ratio for the blacks to appear better. The size and aspect ratio you get should depend upon your case window. Good luck

I didn't sandwich mine, I left the inside exposed, just don't hit anything against it.

My suggestion is to buy the case first, measure it, then find a screen size that will work.

PC shuts down because it trips an internal breaker or fuse inside your power supply. It's designed that way to protect your system. Don't panic, just power everything off, unplug power supply, reverse the power and ground leads for your lcds logic board and it should work fine. This is why you don't buy a cheap power supply.

You should try out the LCD to make sure it still works. If you can shine a light through it and project an image while connected to a computer, its still working.

+Ashnno Glad you enjoyed the video. Powering the LCD with the monitors power board is dangerous for multiple reasons. One, AC current can kill you. You could power the LCD with USB, still just 5V, but you're relying on the motherboard to do that instead of the PSU. If you wanted you could run a 5v power supply through the inside to the logic board and plug the adapter into the wall. The best way is really the way that works for you. The capacitors on the power board are large enough to electrocute you, so please be careful! Thank you for the question.

@Ashnno 6 лет назад

One more question; The monitor I'm using for the project is very similar to the one you have, and on the power supply there are two 5v connections. Does one power the backlight and the other the LCD? Or do they use power concurrently? How did you figure out which one to use? I saw you went over this briefly in your video but I'm still a little confused. Also, since the power supply converts A/C power to D/C power, could I just use a 5v D/C adapater and solder it to the 5v wires?

+Ashnno You don't want to use AC power. It can kill you. You only need 5V for the LCD, the power board needs the high current because of the backlight. I don't really know which 5V you need. Try cutting the wires carefully one at a time and see if the display guess out. That is how I figured it out, by eliminating wires I didn't need. Good luck!
