Coolone Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 EIZO FlexScan T68 Monitor – Gaming Case Mod 2009 Worklog By Coolone a. Name of mod: EIZO FlexScan T68 Monitor – Gaming Case Mod 2009 b. Description of my case: Idea When my fantastic EIZO FlexScan T68 died I felled very sorry since we already have been friends through 8 years where the EIZO FlexScan T68 monitor have given me the best pictures I ever have seen on a monitor. So I thought this should not be the end of my great EIZO so my imagination was questioned how could I still get anything out of my old monitor, even if it not could deliver any pictures anymore? Since I like to have a PC case with my one touch I thought it could be nice to make a case mod where nearby all used hardware was visible. This was the beginning of my EIZO FlexScan T68 case mod project, where you could see the hardware I have used for my project through the acrylic glass I have build into the front of my old monitor.

Coolone Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 EIZO FlexScan T68 Monitor – Gaming Case Mod 2009 Case Mod - Air flow I only measured the temperature by hand and it did not fell any hot! Also the “Monitor†has a meshed surface – which allows air both seep in / out. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icejon Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 This is an awesome idea. I am worried about your thermals. It looks like there could be some areas heat might get stuck like under the motherboard. Do you have plans for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolone Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 EIZO FlexScan T68 Monitor – Gaming Case Mod 2009 Case Mod - Air flow UPDATE When I upgrade the graphics card it could get necessary to install some more case FANs. Also it would be possible to install a 140 mm exhaust FAN in top of the monitor mod. But there will always be some areas with less air flow like in a normal PC case in this case I’m a little concerned about the area around the hard drives. .
