lcd screen inside pc case brands

Transparent plastic and tempered glass have been the standard for PC cases for over a decade now. So if you’re going to be constantly looking at your PC’s guts, why not just end the pretense and stick a whole-ass monitor in there? That’s the idea behind the Side Panel Kit, a full 13.3-inch, 1080p monitor that sits behind the transparent panel of your PC case and connects directly to your motherboard. The screen acts as a standard monitor in Windows, displaying whatever you want.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen massive screens mounted directly onto a desktop PC. In addition to novelties like smaller LCDs attached to CPU AIO pumps, RAM, graphics cards, and probably the backside of the motherboard by now, you might recall iBuyPower’s Project Snowblind. It also turned the entire side of a PC case into a display, albeit a transparent one designed more to show supplementary data. In comparison, Asrock’s screen is relatively basic. It’s just a nice little IPS LCD that sticks to the inside of your PC case with the included mounting brackets.

While the screen should be installable into any case that can physically house it (you’ll need a clear area on the side panel 300mm by 193mm, horizontal or vertical), there’s one little foible to the design that might be a dealbreaker. The screen connects directly to the motherboard via an Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) cable for both data and power, as noted by Tom’s Hardware. eDP is a standard connection often seen in laptop screen panels, but it’s rarely seen in consumer-facing electronics…and Asrock is the only company making motherboards with an eDP connection built-in. There’s no easy way to make an adapter, either, since unlike regular DisplayPort it includes electrical power as well.

At the time of writing only a handful of Asrock motherboards support the screen, mostly in the Z790 series (Intel 1700, with one B650 option for Ryzen fans). You can expect more high-end boards from Asrock to include the connection in the near future. Maybe by then the company will actually have an option to buy the Side Panel Kit, because it doesn’t appear to have a shipping date or price at the moment.

All anime characters are not made equal. If a character’s sense of style or cool demeanor hit a fan just right, they might celebrate their love through purchases like figurines or plushies. More recently, gamers have found a more novel way to show off their beloved picks: by trapping anime characters in PC cases.

Rigs showing off people’s favorite characters via tiny LCD screens visible through a PC case with clear side panels often go viral on social media, because it’s a spectacle. While small, these LCDs often show a looped animation of a character while other parts of the PC pulse with RBG lights. Usually, the moments depicted here have anime characters looking powerful or sweet, depending on the tone of the franchise. One popular design, for example, sees fans capturing Kakashi, a ninja and beloved teacher from Naruto, winding up for a powerful attack.

While a number of companies produce PC hardware with this functionality, clips posted on social media often feature components sold by a business called NZXT. NZXT makes what it calls an “AIO liquid cooler with LCD display,” a high-end component that helps keep a computer at an optimal temperature. The accompanying screens are meant to help the user gauge their heat levels, but since you can customize these LCDs to display anything you’d like, fans like to get creative. You can, for instance, show off any gif or image on the LCD — so it wasn’t long before people used the feature to display favorite anime characters.

With prices ranging from $229.99 to $279.99, the AIO liquid coolers with LCDs aren’t cheap. But rather than inducing sticker shock, the hardware has “been amongst the top-selling CPU coolers on the market,” NZXT CEO Johnny Hou told Polygon over email. Hou added that, while initially people seemed skeptical about the tiny screen and its usefulness, seeing it in action on social media helped show people the appeal and depth of personalization possible.

People have been showing off the coolers on social media since the parts were released in fall 2020, though video platform TikTok has pushed the LCD screens in front of millions of viewers. Trends involving the coolers often have anime girls swaying their hips in time to a song called 2 Phút Hơn. That phenomenon then grew to incorporate a wider variety of franchises ranging from anime like Darling in the Franxx to lesser known picks, like characters from a rhythm game called Muse Dash.

For some, like Twitch streamer Emmesux, the LCD screen was simply another way to customize a PC set-up. She told Polygon via Instagram chat that she “bought the Kraken for visual purposes only.” Her character of choice? Killua Zodyck from the anime Hunter x Hunter.

Like a rotating wallpaper, Emmesux will change Killua’s depiction on the LCD screen from time to time, to keep her setup fresh. Sometimes, she’ll pick darker moments, like when Killua appears intense and powerful during the anime. But other times, Killua is displayed in a softer light, like when he’s smiling and giggling with friends. Based on popular picks on TikTok, characters trapped in PC cases like this usually exhibit a similar range of tones and emotions.

The cool thing about this PC hardware sensation is that it goes beyond the aesthetics of “hardcore” RGB gamers, and has also been embraced by those who like cleaner, pastel ambiances too. Everyone, regardless of fandom or gender, has a favorite character they love to celebrate, and these LCD screens provide a new avenue for exactly that. As it turns out, we all like to simp for a well-designed character.

Equipped with IPS Screen with HD 1024*600 high resolution, 16:9 display format conversion in the image and an expansive 178 degree viewing angles is ideal for work and for reviewing on-screen data.

If you want a secondary screen but can’t quite fit one onto your desk, you might want to check out ASRock’s latest invention — a PC side panel display.

PC owners have all that space on their chassis, and nothing to do with it. As long as you’re willing to give up being able to easily peer inside the case (and admire the RGB light show, if that’s your thing), you might like ASRock’s 13.3-inch Side Panel Kit. This is essentially a monitor, similar to that in a laptop, that is attached to the inside of your case.

As the panel is installed within the chassis, your case needs to have a side panel made of transparent tempered glass. It has to be sturdy enough to hold the screen, but it also needs to be see-through so that you can see it in the first place.

You could use it to simply monitor your PC’s temperatures and speeds, or you could turn it into a proper secondary screen for productivity or entertainment. Granted, needing to view it through the case will probably diminish the experience a bit, but it’s still a fun gadget if you’ve got limited desk space and want an extra screen. If you do get one and plan to use it for productivity, you might need to re-think the placement of your PC case to avoid constantly having to turn and look to the side.

This availability is likely to affect the popularity of ASRock’s new gadget. However, if you have one of the required motherboards or you’re planning an upgrade soon, it seems like a fun addition to a PC build.

A lot of recent PC products have been following the LCD trend, adding an LCD or OLED panel to existing PC products to give their users additional customisation options, or areas where they can look at their PC"s thermals and other data points. So far, we have seen this trend impact the designs of CPU cooler, graphics cards, and some motherboards. Now, EK wants to take things to the next level by releasing their 7-inch Quantum Lumen LCD in-case PC screen.

The idea here is simple, EK has built a 7-inch 1024x600 IPS monitor that has a strong aluminium frame and HDMI 2.0 connectivity. Users of this screen mount it inside of their PC or use it as an external display, allowing users to display whatever they want on it. Do you want it to display your system"s thermals? Do you want it to play a video? Do you want to use it as a dedicated MSI Afterburner screen? Ultimately, it"s up to you. 0

EK, the Slovenia-based premium PC liquid cooling gear manufacturer, launches its first external screen for PC enthusiasts - EK-Quantum Lumen 7" LCD. This Quantum series 7-inch screen is a stylish and functional addition to any liquid cooling setup. The display is recognized as an additional desktop by your OS, offering a handy way of displaying any content your want or monitoring the computer"s vital parameters like component and coolant temperatures, fan RPM, core frequency, and more.

This is a high-quality IPS screen designed to be mounted inside the PC case or to be used as an external monitor for temperature, hardware load, and other information. It has a wide SVGA resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. Its diagonal is 7 inches long, with the IPS panel type for superior viewing angles and vivid colors. It connects to the PC through HDMI 2.0 cable that is included in the package and an internal Type-A USB 2.0 port. Another USB Type-C cable is also included for using Lumen as an external display.

Just like all other EK Quantum products, this one also boasts a sophisticated design with the screen frame machined from a single piece of aluminium which is then plated for three material finish options - nickel, black, and silver.

Groves and notches are strategically placed on the back side of the screen to hide the cables and ease the cable management, thus creating its sleek look and feel. The frame of Lumen is CNC-machined out of a single large chunk of 20 mm-thick aluminium that is 195 mm long and 115 mm wide.

The sturdy aluminium frame offers three mounting positions with hole spacing aligned with 120 mm fans. This allows the screen to be moved up and down or centered, depending on your preference, while ensuring a high degree of compatibility with most modern cases. EK-Quantum Lumen can also be mounted on EK-Loop Angled Bracket 120 mm to allow 90-degree rotation and additional positioning options.

With a width of 192 mm and a height of 112 mm, it has the perfect size not to outshine the rest of your PC and still adds a pretty big surface for relevant data or special aesthetic effects. There are three versions available, relating to the color of the aluminium frame.

EK-Quantum Lumen 7" LCD is engineered in Slovenia, Europe, with Black and Silver variants now available for purchase through EK Webshop and partner reseller network. The Nickel version is available for pre-order and will ship out in early September 2022.

I like it and the price is decent, but myself idk if it"d fit in my case or if i"d have a viable use for it, but i can see that this will sell a fair bit and be useful for many

We first got a look at the Thermaltake Divider 550 TG Ultra at the company"s Expo event, coinciding with CES 2022 in January. Now the firm has released a full set of product pages for this showy mid-tower case with triple tempered glass sides and a 3.9 inch LCD screen atop of the front panel.

The Divider 550 TG Ultra"s USP is clearly its front embedded display panel. If not for this add-in, it would be a pretty standard hefty ATX case with a lot of tempered glass and room for a full sized (5.25 inch) optical drive to slot into the top.

From the images it looks like Thermaltake has decided to craft an LCD screen to fit into such a gap, but sadly the display area doesn"t fill the space, as it has quite significant bezels. Thermaltake quite breathlessly describes this 3.9 inch LCD screen as "a new way to monitor your PC’s performance and at the same time to show your own personality." In 2022 it might be more useful than an optical drive bay, but it isn"t revolutionary.

From the front you will also see Thermaltake has boldly fitted a trio of RGB fans. These are also configured using TT RGB Plus 2.0 software. Users can make the fan lighting work in harmony with the LCD display. Alternatively, it is possible to control and sync the fan LEDs with RGB motherboard software from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock. Anti software bloat purists can decide to control the fan lighting using the dedicated RGB button on the I/O panel. This button turns the RGB LEDs on and off and cycles through 27 color schemes and modes.

That more or less covers the Thermaltake Divider 550 TG Ultra"s "special sauce" that center around its triple RGB fan and LCD display fronted appearance. If you have got this far you might be interested in the essential tech specs such as case size, capacity, and maximum compatibility stats. We have tabulated this data below for your convenience.

Some niceties that are worth highlighting are the rotational PCIe slots, to make the case vertical or horizontally orientated GPU friendly. A rizer cable bracket and GPU support is included with the case too. Lastly, we are thankful Thermaltake has both USB Type-A and Type–C ports in the easy access I/O section atop of the case.

If readers are interested in acquiring a new PC case in the meantime, you would be advised to check out our recently updated guide to the Best PC Cases of 2022.

Thermaltake today announced a new ATX mid-tower chassis featuring a 3.9" LCD screen in front for monitoring PC information or displaying customized images (or GIFs). The case is known as the Divider 550 TG Ultra Chassis and features a tempered glass side and front panels.

Full specifications are not known just yet, but we know is that the chassis is classified as a mid-tower ATX case. It"ll feature support for up to 360mm radiators and comes with three ARGB fans that synchronize with all the popular RGB programs today, such as Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, and AsRock Polychrome.

According to the images shown, it appears the LCD screen is fully mobile and can be attached to either the interior of the case or displayed on the front panel itself. However, this functionality has not been confirmed just yet.

The chassis" aesthetics are similar to most cases on the market, featuring a black interior and black exterior. The only other colors contrasting the black aesthetic will be the ARGB fans pre-installed inside the case.

Pricing and availability of the Divider 550 TG Ultra remain unknown at this time; however, expect more details of this case during Thermaltake"s coverage of CES 2022 today.

LCD Spec: 19” transparent TN LCD side panel display with 1280 x 1024 resolution enabling the complete customization of the side panel. Users can configure the digital display to feature video wallpaper, images, or system temperatures in real-time

Case modding took off in the late 90s, and taught us all that computers could (and should!) look awesome. Much of the aesthetic went mainstream, and now tons of computer cases come with lights and windows and all the rest. [WysWyg_Protogen] realized those simple case windows could be way cooler with a neat LCD hack, and set to work.

The concept is simple. Take an old LCD monitor, remove the backlight and extraneous hardware, and then install it to the window in a computer case. When lit from behind via LEDs in the case, the screen creates a ghostly display through which the computer’s internals can still partially be seen. It’s a really compelling effect, and in theory, quite easy to achieve. All one need do is mount the stripped-down screen to the case and pipe it video from the graphics card.

In practice, it’s a little tricky. Disassembling the screen and removing things like the anti-glare coating can be tough to do without damaging the delicate panel inside. The windows typically used on computer cases can dull the effect, too. However, [WysWyg_Protogen] is continuing to tinker with the project and the results are getting increasingly impressive with each iteration. It doesn’t photograph too well, but it looks truly amazing in motion.

We often forget LCDs are transparent in their basic form, as we generally only use them with backlights or reflective backers. They really do look great when used in this transmissive way, though. Video after the break.

Actually beside myself right now. How does this look this good? This was a trash pile monitor and this looks like a 700 dollar case upgrade pic.twitter.com/4yBXlcY921

The best PC case is the place your hardware calls home. It"s the platform for your ultimate gaming rig and a showpiece at the same time. Besides looks, a PC case needs to have the room for modern components and make upgrading or maintenance on it easy. There are a ton of options at different prices; some keep the look modest and others make it scream with loads of RGB lights.

Your choice of PC case will also dicate what can go inside. If you want multi-loop liquid cooling, and the biggest GPUs on the planet, then you"re best bet is a full-tower chassis(opens in new tab). But if you"re looking for a small scale build then the best mini-ITX cases(opens in new tab) will be what you covet.

The best PC case will make the building process a simple one, while a bad case is one that limits your expandability options, or makes it super difficult to build your machine into. If building a PC seems a little out of your comfort zone in general, you can always go with a prebuilt gaming PC(opens in new tab), and skip the stress of building your own.

Before you fork out on the best PC case ever, there are a couple of things you should consider first. How big is your graphics card? What motherboard are you going with? How many drive bays do you need? Figure out what"s going into the case before you buy it, so you"re sure everything will fit. Here are the best cases we"ve tested this year, after building them up and down and, of course, checking them for fire hazards(opens in new tab).

The original Cooler Master Cosmos chassis is a classic of PC case design, and has seen many revisions over the years. The latest, the Cosmos C700M is the pinnacle of that design, taking over from the C700P, a chassis which held firm as one of our favorite full-tower cases for years.

Bigger even than the C700P, the C700M is one of Cooler Master"s largest enclosures and comes with an equally hefty price tag. The premium case maintains the same handlebar design as the calssic Cosmos design, but adds a few modern touches that make it one of the most beautiful cases we"ve seen.

We were already impressed with the tasteful RGB lighting from its predecessor but the C700M really kicks it up a notch. The lightning now features individually addressable RGB strips that form a continuous line from the back of the top panel all the way through the bottom of the case. Metallic contacts allow you to easily remove the front panel without having to worry about wires. A fresh matte design on the case"s signature handlebars allow the understated lighting to really accent its curves.The exceptional build quality and premium materials definitely go a long way towards justifying the price.

The company"s signature logo is noticeably absent from the case. Instead, all that remains is a familiar hexagonal shape used as a power button. We"ve already seen this shift with some of Cooler Master"s other cases and liquid coolers, but the C700M really seals the deal with its sleek lines and artfully crafted top ventilation.

One of the favorite things we experienced while building in the case is the fact that we were able to remove the motherboard tray and assemble a majority of our system outside of the case. Built in cable routing, cable management clips and a modular cable cover system also makes it easy to create a very clean system.

The ability to switch between a conventional layout and an inverted one is not uncommon for a high end full tower. What really sets the C700P and C700M apart from the competition is the ability to rotate the motherboard 90 degrees into what Cooler Master calls its chimney layout. This type of layout allows hot air to follow its natural trajectory and efficiently exhaust from the top of the case.

One of Corsair"s best cases, the Carbide 275R, might be the ultimate minimalist"s case. Aside from a small "sail" logo on the front panel, the 275R ditches additional branding for the sake of a clean design for the style-obsessed. While the design may be minimal, the functionality isn"t.

Unlike NZXT"s similarly minimal S340, the Carbide 275R can support a 360mm radiator in the front and up to six 120mm fans. With a modest $80 price tag, the 275R is a good case for beginners and advanced users looking to create a sleek custom loop.

For a more budget-focused chassis, however, it"s still a good-looking one. The tempered glass side panel and smart cable tidying, and PSU shroud, all give it the feel of a PC case of far greater expense. The rounded frontage gives is a softer look compared to the more angular, super-boxy cheaper alternatives, and it won"t look like you"ve skimped on your system.

And, with white and black options, as well as cheaper options with acrylic side panels, the Carbide 275R gives a price-conscious PC builder a lot of choice.

While it"s not the sort of throwaway money you might spend on a PC case if all you want is the cheapest chassis to allow you to spend every last cent on your component list, the Carbide 275R is the most well-featured, well-built, good-looking PC case that doesn"t cost the earth.

I was a big fan of the original NZXT H1 mini-ITX chassis when it first came out. But then, mine never caught fire, which is a good thing because I"ve been using it as the basis for my office work machine ever since. My boss would not have been pleased if I"d burned down the PC Gamer offices because of a faulty PCIe riser cable.

Aside from that specific riser problem, the H1 was a fantastic package to build a wee peecee into. And so is this recently updated version, too. On the face of it, this H1 V2 looks identical and you"d be forgiven for thinking it was just a new release of the same case with an even more non-burn-y PCIe riser cable for your GPU. But NZXT has actually done a lot to improve the overall design, even though it does make for a more expensive, slightly larger and heavier mini-ITX case.

The real beauty of the H1 is that it includes both a powerful PSU and a liquid CPU cooler, so the really awkward bits of a mini-ITX build are taken care of. If you"ve ever built a small form factor PC you will understand the pain of trying to route a million, unnecessarily long PSU cables around the motherboard, graphics card, and everything else. Then trying to mount a capable-enough cooler into the limited confines of a mini-ITX case… well, that"s a task in itself.NZXT helps the build process with clear labelling within and without the chassis.

A note of warning, however, and that is the clearance between the radiator fan and the top of your memory isn"t huge. It is another 1mm higher than the original, but with just 46mm as your maximum memory height some DIMMs are simply going to be too big. Our Corsair Dominator DDR5(opens in new tab) sticks we"ve used in our Alder Lake test rig, and the mini-ITX B660, proved just too tall to close the case.

NZXT helps the build process with clear labelling within and without the chassis. I had issues actually getting into the tool-less design of the first H1, but it ships with labelling on the outside explaining how to gain access. And inside there are tags and stickers indicating what goes where, and how to shift things around to gain access to the motherboard tray, for example.

Phanteks has made some incredible cases over the years, but the Evolv X stands out as an excellent chassis for anyone looking to build a mid-tower PC with a little something extra. That extra being the ability to slide two systems into its pleasing form—there"s room for an ITX system in the top to go above the main ATX system. It"s a bit of a squeeze for sure, but it is possible.

This PC case runs the risk of pulling the attention away from your precious components. You might have the flashiest GPU going, or even RAM sticks emblazoned with gems, but the first thing anyone is going to look at when they see your PC is all that RGB lighting.

There are tons of LED RGBs in the Corsair 5000T, the company"s loaded more of them into this one case than any before. There are six RGB strips around the exterior of the case, and the three LL120 fans will light up all colors of the rainbow if you so wish. All of which is controlled via the Commander Core XT and the iCUE software.

For my testing, I settled for a triple-fan radiator in a pull configuration up top and the three included LL120 fans located in the front, as they were out of the box. To keep that airflow whizzing past my PC components, I also opted for a 120mm fan on the rear. That"s actually one of the few setbacks with this case: there"s no rear fan included. It"s no big deal if you"re swapping over your build from another, as I was, but since I was sent the white model, the black rear fan from an old NZXT build isn"t quite as in keeping with the aesthetic as I"d like.This cooling configuration is really effective.

Though this cooling configuration is really effective. A triple-fan all-in-one was always going to keep my AMD Ryzen 7 5800X in good check, but the RX 6900 XT loaded into this PC can get a little toasty without some help. The three LL120 fans on the balanced preset provide plenty of that.

If you"re not a fan of iCUE or don"t want to use any such software on your machine, the 5000T probably isn"t the case for you. This is a case that"s pretty much dependent on its software. The RGB LED strips, fan lighting, and fan speeds are all adjusted via the Commander Core XT, and that"s plugged right into the iCUE software as first port of call.

Still, thing is beautifully crafted from steel, plastic, and tempered glass, and while that means it"s pretty heavy, it"s a real statement PC case for a high-end PC build. You could definitely go more compact for your PC, but you"ll not find many as well-made as this.

If you’re the type of gamer that requires total concentration, a quiet PC case can be critical. Once your PC starts heating up and fans begin blowing at full force, your once-silent PC can quickly turn into something that resembles a roaring jet engine. It’s times like these when a silent PC case can come in handy, and nothing does the job quite like Cooler Master’s Silencio series.

Speaking of roomy builds, the Corsair Obsidian Series 1000D is a behemoth of a PC case ready to house the biggest and baddest systems. Standing tall at a staggering 27.3-inches, this "super-tower" features enough space to house 18 fans and up to four massive radiators installed simultaneously.

Initially known for its silent power supplies and fans, be quiet! entered the case market with a big splash and has done quite well in a short period since its first case launch in 2014. One of its more recent cases, the Dark Base Pro 900, remains one of our highly recommended full towers thanks to its sleek design and enthusiast-friendly interior.

The Dark Base Pro 900 is large enough to support the biggest motherboards and radiators up to 420mm in size. The case also features total modularity with options for an inverted motherboard layout and even some nifty features like wireless Qi charging and preinstalled LED lighting.

The worst thing about the Lian-Li PC-011 Dynamic is that its instruction manual is incomprehensible. However, if you already know how to build a PC, piecing it together shouldn"t prove too difficult.

For the most part, it"s a standard tempered glass mid-tower case with a few bells and whistles to make it all worth the enduring trial and error of the PC building experience. For one, it has three removable panels—one on the front and one on each side. Naturally, this makes for an easy installation. Incorporating a liquid cooler in its exposed ceiling area is an effortless undertaking.

Find out more about how we test.Will a micro-ATX motherboard fit inside a mid tower case?It certainly will. The spacing of the mounting holes on an micro-ATX board match those found on an ATX board, there are just fewer of them. Mounting a micro-ATX into a mid tower case in place of an ATX is totally doable.How do I know what size computer case I need?The key question here is, how big is your motherboard? A full-size PC case supports the giant E-ATX boards but will take up a ton of space under or on your desk. Small form factor cases like the NZXT H200i can only accommodate Mini-ITX boards and are restrictive for other big GPUs components. Mid-tower PC cases are a more common choice that supports all ATX and a handful of E-ATX boards. Size does indeed matter, after all.

Once you"ve decided on the case size, the fun part happens next. You can consider dozens of features and options like I/O ports, cooling configurations, windows, airflow, and lighting, and that"s to get started.Round up of today"s best deals
