LCD Side Panel on the Fractal design r6 Case possible ?

[omicron0]

Dear Community,

 

As this is my first Post/Topic here , I wanted to ask some experienced and expert people , rather than other webforums. I am currently building a gaming pc with an setup arround. Besides the hardware that I bought , my case arrived yesterday ( the Fractal Design Define R6 Black TG - the mercedes of the cases in my opinion  ) . But at the exact day , my friend did sent me a link from ibuypower "the snowblind pc"..... from there on I did a research on google and youtube , to learn how to build this. Indeed , I have one monitor that I don't use anymore with the perfect size but does it work with my current R6 case ? Did any one of you guys tried this experiment ? I really REALLY want to build this , tho I have 0 knowledge about building that. I just want to know if this works with the R6 before i start to work in real. Im sure that I can build that in the end , saw much tutorials .

Welcome to the Forums!

 

This is all custom work you will need to do so anything possible. You will need to source an LCD panel that fits the opening of the case both width and height of the opening and tear it down to just the LCD panel with a driver and connections.

Anything's possible with enough time, money and determination.

One problem is there's no way to know until you open up the monitor if the LCD panel is of the fused panel variety, in which case you can't use it because the layers (ex. plastic protector, TFT layer, diffuser, backlight, diffuser, backing) are permanently fused together, or even worse, created through some fancy chemical process as a coating on the LCD layer itself.

 

Cheapo TFT LCD monitors are more likely to neatly come apart neatly, so yours may work. Also from what I've seen panels with poor contrast ratios tend to be more transparent, which is what I would assume is the most important trait if you what to turn it into a window.

 

An easier solution if you don't care about transparency would be to cover the window in one-way mirror film, then paint black around the monitor (as Pangea2017 said). But if the monitor already fits it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Anyway make sure to create some sort of container/insulation layer for the monitor electronics to keep them from touching anything in the case. That stuff WILL shock you, and your mobo.
