VERSION 2.0 IS FINALLY HERE! - ruclips.net/video/rKsqH7F36lw/видео.html
Asking around in forums someone gave me the idea. It'll be more costly but if you are snapping lcd screens (like i did) Try to find a laptop replacement lcd screen on amazon or ebay that doesn't have anti glare, then find a "universal" lcd driver board that has onboard power. I have priced the boards and they go as low as $10 on amazon
Actually not a bad idea. Problem is that I need a 19" screen and it needs to be 5:4 ratio. Not easy to find. I'm waiting for Craigslist to pan out, but if you've got a window thats 16:9 like the NZXT ones, i'd say do it.
yeah i'm making a Frankin rig first to test it all out on. I belive the rig i picked up was a 2008ish hp pavilion so I have to cut a side window which really makes picking a screen easier
Hit an odd issue. I found an AOC. Trying to use It's guts instead of ordering parts. Found the 5v and ground. When connected to the other board it's fine. When connected to molex the led power light comes on but no display. Any clue? Sorry if i'm annoying you. You are just the only person I can find who is actually messing around with it trying to get it as close to right as they can.
If you're using an AOC portable usb monitor, this is how you would set it up without a molex connector. Kudos to Chris Albee (Modsquito) for the image. bit.ly/2w3D7DE
i think i would try the glue that is used in gameboy light mods or display repair because UV LOCA is just great but you need to be careful with your sidepanel becasue that is a strong bond
I'll check out this UV Loca but weld on melts the plastics together. It's not a glue, it's much stronger than glue.
Use led connectors right angle ones, no solder required :)
That is correct but nobody got time for that
@@ImmodderNation I had time for that :) makes it look professional. :) not that your way is not :)
FIRST! HA! Thank you for uploading these videos. Learn alot from them.
Also Do you think putting mirror-surface vinyl wrap on the insides of the case instead of painting the insides of the case will help?
Ahh! You guys are too quick! 🙂. I'm not certain that reflective vinyl would work. It could shine light back against the motherboard, but the light will not fill the case evenly like a proper reflector would.
Thank you so much for the compliment, i'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Love it. My biggest problem that I ran into was where to stop on the LCD display. I wanted to take the diffuse layer off, but it seems I peeled TOO many layers off and was left with just a a clear display. Did you happen to remove your diffuse layer or just say fuck it and put more lights to counter it?
Thank you so much! In version 1.0, I removed the anti glare material, but left the polarizer on. The polarizing filter is necessary to make the display visible or otherwise you get a clear LCD like you found out. Luke from Linus Tech Tips did something like that in this video: ruclips.net/video/rjQWFM0lx30/видео.html
5ive-7even "Clear LCD" without a polarizer would be nice for privacy: you can see it with RealD 3D glasses, while everyone else finds you staring at a blank screen. But this isn't useful for this side panel.
I'm retarded guys, I smoke a lot of pot, and I meant the anti-glare material, but I accidentally removed the polarizing filter which caused it to be clear. lol I derped, but yes, how did know that you were just taking off the anti-glare and not the actual polarized layer? I tried my best to just take off the top layer, but ended up removing it all :(
www.amazon.com/AOC-e1659Fwu-1366x768-Brightness-3-0-Powered/dp/B00CMKOVMO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1496855179&sr=1-1&keywords=aoc+usb+led+monitor That's the monitor I bought for reference.
The anti glare material should come off much easier by laying a water soaked cloth on it for a few hours. In the broken LCD I have, the polarizer had to be chipped off, similar to what Luke did. You can get a razor blade on one of the corners, you could feel the anti glare material come off easily, but the polarizer will take more work. I guess you have to feel for it. I almost took the polarizer off my first time as well, don't feel bad for derping around. 😃
Hi! Did you try to put a second acrylic sheet on the back of the lcd, with the leds along its corner pointing inside it?
+qebm No I left the LCD unprotected and edge lighting the acrylic would produce different results. Light needs to reflect off the inside of the case to make the effect work. I like your thinking though!
This mod is too cool. My question is what about dust? has anyone come up with a way to reliably keep dust out from between the display / acrylic? If not I could picture it to be a pain in the ass to maintain
Currently working on a solution that requires a dust free clean room and sealing the LCD inside the sandwiched acrylic sheets. Easier said than done.
Is there an LED strip that is shorter than 10 ft. I just don't want to spend about $40 on LED strips and end up only using 1 ft.
Amazon has mostly 16 ft (5 m) strips. You'll probably use closer to 2 feet or more to light it the way that I did. Not too many strips come in high density cool white either. I understand wanting to save money though. Maybe find other uses for it?
I want to see this 2.0 in action... did you make the video of these new led lights in use yet?
Filmed it, not edited yet. Coming Soon...still.
ImmodderNation super stoked! In the final assembly of my own project snow blind! Diffusing the bomb was fun ;) Any recommendations for mounting the LCD?
Find a way for the LCD to "sit" in position with some locking mechanism on top to hold the LCD in place. Nothing permanent, incase you have to change out the LCD.
yes cannot wait. i was just looking on how to add a window to my case then i came across this video. cant wait!
@immoddernation I used the frame from the light panel to snadwidge the lcd to my acrylic sheet with hot glue. It's been running no problems for a little over a month now. Blows the mind of all my friends ahhha
pretty coool
Thank you!
So... I have a question. I heard that if you have an USB Monitor, it helps a ton because you can plug it in and you have power + videosignal. Now, is that only the case for USB 3.0 monitors? I saw a dell with 2 USB 2.0 plugs, do you know if that would work too? I don't wanna solder :I
Unfortunately USB 2.0 doesn't provide enough power to run from a single USB plug. USB 3.0 does.
@@ImmodderNation thank you!!
You're welcome. Don't be afraid of soldering. It's not very difficult and it could help you with other projects. I have a guide on my RUclips channel to help you.
@@ImmodderNation Thank you so much. I am now looking for a monitor and I wonder; Is it better to get a matte or a shiny one, is there a difference? Also, sorry if it may be a stupid question: when I soak the panel, how do I know which one is the front, and which side do I need to soak with the distilled water? Thank you so much for your time, you are really helping me out!
Matte or shiny doesn't matter. Matte just means there's anti glare on it. The part of the LCD that faces that outside that has antiglare. Good luck with the mod. When you finish, send me a link.
For this project do led screen work or not
Do you mean like an OLED screen? You can make it work but it may look different
Question: did you replace your motherboard with white one?
Painted motherboard white. There's a video about it
I'm also trying this out!
Any update on the next video?
Also, is it possible for you to explain the connections in a bit more detail? Or at least show in the build where each wire goes too? (=
Looking forward to the new video!
Ran into a snag on the newest version of Snowblind, but it works. I could explain the connections but understand that every monitor will be different. The Dell 1908FP was very different from the 1907FP, for example.
ImmodderNation Very true. Thank you!
Snowblind v2.0 is up - ruclips.net/video/rKsqH7F36lw/видео.html
Can you do this using purely tempered glass, say like on the Phanteks P400. Specifically on the Phanteks P400, I want to do this on my Phanteks P400 but what it have is a pure tempered glass side panel.
The tempered glass could be a problem if its not bright enough with the right lighting. You could try the LEDs I purchased for this video. It should work but I don't know how it will look , you'll have to try it. Good luck!
Lol thinking about doing this on my p400. Did you end up trying it and if so how was it?
Thank you so much
You're welcome!
Hey, i like it. i am from germany and its a bit hard to understand your fast talking. but i hope to see the full finish mod then. would be nice to have a list of all parts you use then
Guten tag! The irony is that I usually get comments about how I speak too slow. Maybe the first video will help you get an idea of the parts you need. ruclips.net/video/0jeD9_647Xw/видео.html. Danke für das kompliment.
I made a very bright light and my screen was not visible. What might have happened. please help me Or my monitor is too dark? my monitor model : dell-d1920f
Dell monitors sometimes have anti glare filters on them. You can remove them following my guide. My other bit of advice is to make sure the lights you use are cool white, not warm white. If you are able to adjust the settings, set contrast to maximum and turn up screen brightness. You may have to adjust your settings to get the best effect. White background inside of the case will also help.
thank you i removed glare filter. and how to you connect mainboard to PSU
+Bat Tulgaa the original video will answer your question. You will have to identity the positive and negative wires. ruclips.net/video/0jeD9_647Xw/видео.html
yeah i know your PART 1 video. but I do not understand what you're talking about. I just wrote it
I used a molex adapter from a 12 mm fan and connected the power leads from the monitors logic board to the 5V (red) and ground (black) portions of the molex. To find out which wires are your power leads, cut the wires individually with the power connected until the LCD display turns off. The molex connector connects to the 4 pin molex cable on the PSU.
so when is part 2 coming?
+Robert Lane Soon as I acquire a new monitor. Craigslist has been slow. I've got some other vids coming in the meantime.
Sweet. That was some crazy response time. I've got my LCD "soaking" waiting to get that anti glare off then trying to figure out how to wire to usb. I appreciate these videos so much. Thank you
+Robert Lane Currently working on my latest video so I'm close to YT for the time being. I'm glad my videos help! Take it from a guy who damaged two LCDs to make that video, it's not easy. Please let me know how it looks when you are done.
ImmodderNation yeaaah I'm looking for lcd number 2
you didn't show how it looked why ?
+DoctorPepper4 it's just a preview. Can't give too much away. You can see it in the thumbnail. By the way, I love your soft drink, doctor.
oh okay thought you where done, sorry and thank you best drink in the world lol
quick question trying to this on an nzxt s340 case what size ips monitor do I need? first time modding anything
+DoctorPepper4 you'll have to measure it because I don't know the dimensions.
+DoctorPepper4 Version 2 coming soon
i could almost smell your retina burning.
After 5 minutes of exposure I was 3 shades tanner. 😅
lmao.
Where's the next video??
Pizza Where's my pizza? 🍕 real talk, it's coming soon. In a few weeks, I'm still working on it.
im trying to make my own but i dont know how to start :/
Start with this video: ruclips.net/video/0jeD9_647Xw/видео.html. Measure the window of your case, find a monitor that will fit, take the monitor apart. Good luck!
Wheres the next part of this video? :)
+John Henry Salvado Coming soon! Working through some issues.
Awesome! I've been working on my own as well I'm waiting on Brighter LED strips as well. I hope the ones I ordered were truly 720 lumens per meter
+John Henry Salvado Which lights did you order?
www.lazada.com.ph/5m-300-led-5050-smd-flexible-strip-lights-lamp-44-key-rgb-xmas-pure-white-intl-33748970.html?spm=a2o4l.customer.0.0.41f1f853AMTsTZ I ordered those I'm not sure but the LEDS look bigger than the others I've seen, should come in about a week
The lights i'm using are 828 Lumens per foot. Yours won't be as bright, but should still work fine.
6,000 lumens per stand is like, if the sun was a shadow of a bigger sun 😂
Just wait til I paint the case white and reflect that light back into my eyes.
So you're just gonna leave us hanging like that? :(
Until next time, yes. There are more videos about the Snowblind mod coming VERY soon.
THATS ALOT OF FPS!!!!!
I do not know what you mean.
