This is actually really smart how it works. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the screen turns on its opening the filters that would normally allow the backlight to come through which would be coloured from the reflectors, but since there is no backlight panel, or reflector on the screen it just turns transparent.
@@Ananords Thanks for confirming. I've been contemplating doing it to my case, but it has 2 glass panels so I'm thinking of getting custom ones made for it. But for now ill enjoy being able to see into my case until I can afford upgrades lol.
@Ananords so the LEDs that were put on the sides and top are there so that the black objects moving on the display screen are viewable right? They can be powered from a separate power supply?
@@TheSocialPraxis yeah, the extra light strip's are just to light the inside to make it more obvious. So if you haven't already got rainbow vomit spammed throughout your pc you'll probably want to add a light in
Great tutorial, I was able to do this project a few years ago but using a raspberry pi inside with a video loop and accessed via vnc to keep PC free of extra work. Great job!
I've been thinking about doing this mod myself for a few years now, especially now I'm thinking about a new build. The pi-route is the way I'd go too, set and forget, maybe hook the pi up to on-board usb for power and script the display loop on startup.
Oh man, this is an Awesome mod. I'm thinking about trying it myself. Nothing to loose, the LCD you use is available for 20€ and i got the same case. Only think you loose is time, and i was thinking about doing case modding for so long, so this is a good starting point :'D Also thanks for your written instruction, you clearly got my sub for this! :)
I did it. To make the screen more transparent, set the monitor settings brightness and contrast to maximum. And Bad Apple is best wallpaper for this project. Let me know, if you will find more cool black and white wallpaper c:
I just learned about this mod and this was the first video i found about it. Awesome job and craftsmanship! I'm going to start sourcing parts to do this for my winter project.
Ok this is definitely going to be my next project, like this is the coolest thing I've seen in a very long time. Just gotta find an lcd that would fit my case.
I was wondering if this was still being talked about, and done by case modders. I did my own snowblind mod, but my variation uses all plug and play componants that are powered off of the USB of the motherboard, including the display, granted it is more expensive than the tearing down an old scrap monitor like most people do method but, it is still cheaper than buying the case from ibuypower, and it can be done to virtually any case, and swapped between cases pretty easily. I bet even a small form factor pc could be done. Good work. I may post a video of my version so that people who want a version that doesn't require soldering can try my version.
@@BlahBlah-oj2dy ok. I'm actually going to do a refresh of mine as I found better light strips for the back lighting, so i'll work on getting a video up.
@@poke__8413 I have the first part filmed already. I'll finish filming tomorrow after im off work, so should be posted late tomorrow or early Saturday.
05:28 nice job but i couldn't see what you soldered to which pin. u wrote voltages but after u soldered only 2 gnd (black cable) to pins. can u give me detail
Take a continuity test between one of the mounting holes (often grounded) and the pins to find GND. Then, measure voltage between that pin and the rest. You can also try googling the serial number of the power supply and driver board.
You know I'm curious why someone would give this a thumbs down. To me it's clearly a very clever build that was recorded and edited very well. A lot of hard work went into the build and the video production. One thing I'd like to add is that this looks like a great opportunity to use a raspberry pi zero to drive the display without using the PC's GPU. The Pi zero can easily do 1080P video with VNC access.
I am having the same issue. I have found 2 that are +5v and other various voltages. I'd assume they all still have to be powered, I have no idea how though.
You probably only need to power the 5V lines. In my case 3 of the pins where 5V and connected together. You can do a continuity test and see if yours are connected together.
You would just add more of the vynil or electrical tap to hide the area of the side panel that isn't the screen. This would essentially make a bezel around the screen.
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.
how did you determine which 5v connectors to connect to your psu? I dont understand how you foudn the continuity of the 5v and did you connect them yourself, o did you mean that theyre already connected by design and determined through the continuity tests? confused on this part.
I just did this mod with a simpler monitor I found for free. It was cool at first, but you have to have a shitton of LED backlighting for it, and it bleeds out the side of the case pretty bad. Maybe not great for the h510 case, but it’s still cool
Attempted to do this with an lg l1952s-sf, it wasn't as clear as your's, it was like looking through foggy glass and no amount of lighting helped. it had anti glare layers on BOTH sides, eventually scrapped it :(
Hey, great project and video! I'm just doing this myself to a Dell Ultrasharp 24" Everything seems to be going wel. Question about power. My setup is standalone and fed from a Raspberry Pi. I'd like to power the LCD from the Pi using USB. Am I right in thinking I can use a USB to molex cable and do similar wiring that you did using Sata?
Hi! And thanks:) You can just do the 5V to the monitor directly, since the monitor does not support molex or sata. So you can take a USB cable, cut it, and feed the power to the monitor.
I have the same case, wondering how to hide the small board that runs the length of the screen? Do you have any pictures of how you mounted the controller board? Thanks!
Ill try it today mate I bought the same screen as u did. U put water on the screen to remove the top layer right ? Any Otter Tipps u didnt put inside this awesome Video?
I have been keeping my eye out for this display for a few months now due to its aspect ratio and just picked up two for free, i could use any panel with an LVDS driver board but wanted this screen because of its shape but the ease of using the existing driver board is so trivial its not even worth using an aftermarket LVDS board and to make things even easier, my screens board has the voltages printed on the PCB next to each pin!
@@NVRMTmotion The water wears down the adhesive holding the sheet to the LCD but it needs time to penetrate the sheet. That's why it takes such a long time.
Can you program like anime type of animations on it? Like the ibuypowers snowblind case cause i just to make the panel not the whole case the cast sucks. Im gonna be making this for a corsair 4000d/5000d airflow case would i be able to do this with that case?
on this video when your testing the Voltages and whats - and + can you explain it better on how we can do that and what your doing as it dosent really help around that part. thanks
Why did you remove the "top layer" as that looks to me like you just removed the polarization filter and is required for an LCD to work. Or was that a different layer of film/plastic? Because when you remove the polarization filter all you see is straight through (with a backlight, white) so I'm not quite sure what is going on lol.
This is great to watch. I am in the process of making my own mod. However I am having trouble wiring the controller board to internal PSU. I have already fried the first one I tried to wire up. Could you please explain how you determined how you wired it up and what your readings mean? Thanks.
I measured the output of the power supply in the monitor, and found what voltages it gave out. I found out that it uses 5V, therefore I connected the 5V of the monitor to the 5V of the molex connector. More info in my instructables (see in the description of this video)
@@Ananords I did that with mine and found 2 wires that gave 5v and 1 wire that gave 3.3v. However when I disconnected the other 2 wires that were also present that seemed to have no voltage going through them only leaving the 5v and 3.3v connected it wouldn’t power on.
The other two wires might be used for feedback from the power supply, maybe temperature? Just to be sure, the only wires you have connected now is 3.3V, 5V and Ground?
Will have to try, but I do not want to have it as another separate monitor... will have to take a look on some solution to keep it somehow separate from my setup... 🤔
i don't see the purpose of removing the matte film as it doesn't hinder visability or tint. Even if you remove it, its not crystal clear like a window pane.
Very nice tutorial. So if I get this straight the LCD panel is opaque until an image is shown on it? Like I won't be able to SEE into my case unless I have the LCD showing an image/video? If that's the case, how does internal RGB from fans/GPU/RAM interact with it?
@@Ananords hi one question, you will still need a strong backlight to be able to look through it right? or will it really be transparent when everything is off?
What I don't really understand tho is, how do you know what voltage you need? And I guess you don't need an additional power cable going to the snowblind screen? But you would have to connect it to the videocard I guess right? And what did you pour onto the screen to get that front layer off? Just water? Or some kind of alcohol solution or smth? I got a few old screens around that I could use for such a project but I don't complety understand how this is done. Thanks for the vid tho.
I measured the output of the old monitor power supply, and found out which voltages went to the monitor controller. The only power cable you need to the snowblind is a molex. I have connected it to the GPU with a hdmi to dvi cable. You can see how everything is connected at 10:28 in the video. Water worked great for removing the front layer:)
Is this sharing a hdmi part of the computer or does it have its own display input from something else? What is the power requirements to run something like a transparent lcd panel, Can it run on 12v?
How did you get your panel to look so clear? I did this with 2 monitors now but both of them have a smoked glass look (even after AG removal) Is it just good lighting and camera positioning?
Hey, I’ve always wanted to try this. I think I understand everything up to the point of powering it. In this video you’re desoldering from the Power supply board, so we’re does the screen draw power from?
I tried this and accidentally EMP'd everything within 15 miles of my home and now the NSA says I'm going on vacation to some place called Guantanamo. Sounds tropical, I'm gonna bring my Hawaiian shirt! 🤘😎🤙
Why need to disconnect the power and add sata or molex? Could you just lay the boards out of the way? I feel like you’re basically keeping the monitor with original connections but removing all case hardware, film, and backlight?
I have a perfectly white pc and i really want to do this ..... I may just remove the screen and attach it to my side panel. No soldering ... Its too hard for me. I think it will work the same way
I don't know what you did to make it that bright. The screen I used is realy grey/bluish where it should be white/transparent. tried all the settings on the monitor. Do i need more background light? I used a LED LCD display.
What white rgbw strip did you use exactly please and thank you I want to get ever part exactly the same as you and any extra advice I'd appreciate to the moon and back lol 😅
by taking off the polarising layer surely you wouldent be able to see the image??? When i took it off mine you could only see the image with the layer on.
Does transparency depend on the LCD matrix? disassembled with a passive 3D monitor is still cloudy, I removed the film from the front normally. The question is for 3D some other layers or TN matrix
When I plug my monitor into the molex connector the standby light just flashes like it's not getting enough power to stay turned on. Could my power supply not have enough amps to power the monitor?
I am wondering if you can help me, I have done everything, even identified which pins are which voltage, I have even connected the ground of the molex to ground and probed every single pin with 5v but not activity. Can you advise how you determined which pin to use as the 5v pin and which to use as ground as there are several! Monitor I am using is the Dell p1913sb
Thanks a lot for your video ! I'm trying to do the same thing, but my LCD controller has two 5V pin, two 12v and 4 GND.. Should I use two molex inputs or can I use only one and connect the 5V to the two 5V pin and same thing for 12 V ? And what to do with these 4 GND pin ? Thanks

Take a continuity test between one of the mounting holes (often grounded) and the pins to find GND. Then, measure voltage between that pin and the rest. You can also try googling the serial number of the power supply and driver board.
The schematics for the board are usually available on the internet but it's also very common for the traces to be labeled.
I was confident in my abilities until around 5:00 where he started doing math equations and I was like nope.
The math equations is them writing down the voltage or amps or whatever it's called
Aka using those to find the power pins

I have a perfectly white pc and i really want to do this ..... I may just remove the screen and attach it to my side panel. No soldering ... Its too hard for me. I think it will work the same way
Can you tell me: what happen when I cut off the cables on the connector jack (without +/- cable for power on)? Can I do that?
got everything done but seems to be very dark and barley able to see even with a bunch of leds
I don't know what you did to make it that bright. The screen I used is realy grey/bluish where it should be white/transparent. tried all the settings on the monitor. Do i need more background light? I used a LED LCD display.
@Ananords really great work...
What white rgbw strip did you use exactly please and thank you I want to get ever part exactly the same as you and any extra advice I'd appreciate to the moon and back lol 😅
Wow this looks really easy and simple!!
10:28 :
I mean it's really not that complicated all things considered
I agree just go slow it's not a race once you get past your own self doubt you will be surprised what your capable of 🙂
by taking off the polarising layer surely you wouldent be able to see the image??? When i took it off mine you could only see the image with the layer on.
Does transparency depend on the LCD matrix? disassembled with a passive 3D monitor is still cloudy, I removed the film from the front normally. The question is for 3D some other layers or TN matrix
When I plug my monitor into the molex connector the standby light just flashes like it's not getting enough power to stay turned on. Could my power supply not have enough amps to power the monitor?
I am wondering if you can help me, I have done everything, even identified which pins are which voltage, I have even connected the ground of the molex to ground and probed every single pin with 5v but not activity.
Can you advise how you determined which pin to use as the 5v pin and which to use as ground as there are several!
Monitor I am using is the Dell p1913sb
so if i find the same monitor and copy what you did it should work?
Thanks a lot for your video !
I'm trying to do the same thing, but my LCD controller has two 5V pin, two 12v and 4 GND..
Should I use two molex inputs or can I use only one and connect the 5V to the two 5V pin and same thing for 12 V ? And what to do with these 4 GND pin ?
Thanks
I want to ask, are there 2 foils that need to be removed? the one from the front or from the back? one is darker.
That’s super cool I’m gonna try this on my next pc
