I watched some videos that show how

to hook up a 4” monitor between the bottom shroud and the glass panel. I’d probably cut a hole in the shroud to mount the monitor and make it look a bit cleaner. The way the guy did this was by running a thin HDMI cable through a gap in the back of the tower. I’d like to find a cleaner method. This would just be for displaying stats (internal temp, cpu usage, RAM usage, FPS, et cetra), so nothing graphic intensive. Is there a place on the GPU or motherboard that could be utilized without running a cable to the outside of the case and into the normal ports on the back of the GPU?

 

Motherboard: Asus Prime X570-Pro (AM4)

GPU: Asus ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Think I've seen a similar if not the same video. Normally I'd have to use a second port in the GPU and like u say route through the case. Very cool video and idea. So I'll be watching this thread. I don't know of another way, maybe some sort of capture card with internal hdmi?

Just FYI: here’s the link to the video I watched. I don’t like the cable sticking out of the back of the case so a cleaner method would be preferred. If I have no other choice then maybe I could use a HDMI ribbon cable and keep it snug against the back of the case (with a 90 degree connector). But I’d rather not even do that if there’s a way to keep all wires inside the case.

I think I may have found a solution. It’s not exactly what I was wanting but it is cleaner than having a cable sticking out of the side of the case. I could run a thin HDMI ribbon the female end to the graphics card. Thoughts? Or any better ideas?
