Shame there is no next-gen ultrawide panel

I'm still figuring out Rainmeter, but in the meantime I overclocked GPU (+100 core, +1200 memory, extra 1000 in Time Spy) and had some fun with the wallpaper engine ? https://imgur.com/DbTkths https://imgur.com/7csx723

Just finished building the system. Also I had to paint white GPU support because it was super ugly. Back side is a bit messy because of extensions, next time I should probably get cable kit instead. The system POSTed without any problems and is currently running in the default “Unicorn vomit” mode. Tomorrow I’ll install windows, adjust fan curves and lighting and will start working on the Rainmaker setup for the side panel

Here's how inside of the side panel looks like with the LCD and LED strips installed

I want to keep PSU in zero RPM mode and futureproof a bit(who knows, mb one day SLI will be great again).

I decided to do a little stress test for the backlighting before gluing it to the side panel. I want to be sure that LED strips will stay cool enough.

Got everything but GPU

Just want to warn you that your front panel will be super bright. LCDs require A LOT of backlight.

PSU and motherboard arrived today. Tomorrow I'm picking up most of the other stuff and if I'm lucky I'll get GPU on Saturday.

In case of O11 in addition to the masking side panel around the LCD you’ll probably have to mask the front panel as well, otherwise it will be super bright outside the case. The lightstrips needed to illuminate LCD use LEDs with the brightness similar to phone camera flash LED and you need 120 LED/m strips. In theory you can paint your MB with PlastiDip, but I wasn’t comfortable with it, so I’ve got a silver one.

I was following this guide for the panel disassembly. Then I masked extra space around the panel with the vinyl wrap, attached the panel using double sided acrylic tape, added backlighting (high intensity cool white led strips, 120 led/m, ~1800 lm/m). Panel is being controlled by a small driver board from AliExpress(I could have used original board from the monitor, but it’s quite bulky) and everything is powered by PSU via Molex - 12v DC adapter.

Here's LCD in action:

After couple of years of moving between countries and gaming on a laptop I've decided to build myself a proper battlestation ? This build was inspired by Ragnorok64's mod I saw on Reddit. LCD side panel was built using old Samsung 203B monitor and small driver board from AliExpress. Case is actually FD Meshify S2 and FD Define S2 hybrid. I really like aesthetics and air temps of Meshify, but at the same time I need white interior (which is only available on Define) for an LCD panel. I was too lazy to paint it, so I bought both cases, swapped front and top panels and sold Define S2. I'm planning to finish the build within couple of weeks. In the future I want to upgrade it to Zen 2 processor, next gen Nvidia GPU and install custom loop.
