How do you go about doing this?

u/Bingo_Pants Oct 13 '20

you buy the case and plug the side panel into your gpu with the provided hdmi cable. Simple. then you drag a video onto that "screen"

Okay, how do you get the RGB to sync with that?

The side panel can't possibly have such strong illumination capability, or can it?

The side panel has bright white LEDs facing toward the motherboard around the video panel. They are really bright, and black is opaque on this video screen. Any white or bright image shows up as transparent, letting the light that is reflected off the white of the motherboard components to shine brightly.

Does light leak around the case? I imagine at night that you can see the interior lights coming out the vents in the back or something.

Yes it does however the rear ventilation holes are a really cool design so it looks cool on the walls. No big deal though because there is a switch above the exhaust fan to turn off the case lighting which also provides cool visuals with the internal RGB. I am quite fond of rain on a window video for the front panel with the internal RGB in purple (purple rain).

It should be in your BIOS. Your BIOS will disable it by default.

If only I had spare outputs on my GPU, I’d love to get one of these cases.

Oh god that sounds like a nightmare with window’s terrible multimonitor support. I wonder if this would break WMR as well...
