@MMORPG87
that was the most simple walk through ever and fast. WELL DONE ive been sitting on the Snowblind Mode but didnt know how to add stuff like this so now im more motivated to finish it since i have everything for the last few months...
@draxuss4205
Just when I think there's nothing else I can add to my machine.................... What an awesome project, I can't wait to get started. Thank you for all the information.
@ddproduction4066
Could you add the template download for the display on your panel because it looks really nice and it would make it easier for the people who don't know how to use the software or just don't wanna deal with the hassle of getting everything as nice as your display
@Rooligan5880
You could use an usb-c to hdmi adaptor and connect that to an internal usb-c header. That would save routing the hdmi cable out the back to the videocard. Also leaves the videocard free to run multiple monitors.

So, I made one of these things. Some changes I did: first, I power the thing with a cheap USB hub. Hid it on the backside of the system tray and ran the cable out to the power adapter connection. That required an adapter so I could a short cord that came with the screen. Then drive the 5" screen with an interior USB header. Turns out there is a USB -> HDMI signal pathway that Windows understands how to get a video signal out. There's a driver in a chip in the adapter cable I found on Amazon. Windows understood right out of the box how to access and run the driver, and the screen shows up in Windows Display settings. Works very well, although it adds to the cabling in the PC. Mounting it was a challenge. It's in an Enthoo Pro 2, so there was TONS of room. Just finding a mounting spot was a bit of a challenge. Turns out, right below the vertical GPU mount, on what is the structural plate for the PSU chamber behind, are four mounting sockets, threaded for for what turns out to be an ITX system board. I hadn't realized that this case was a dual system case. Not sure where exactly they expect you to put the second PSU, but (wait for it) I digress. I eventually found a pair of mounting brackets, when combined with the leftover brackets from my water cooling reservoir in this rig, that I could securely mount the screen, with plenty of clearance behind it, into the top 2 mount points for the ITX board. That's the good part. Software to build the AIDA64 monitoring stuff wasn't too hard. BUT, Windows is weird. HUGE issues with Windows wanting to constantly use this screen as the primary display. Still trying to work out a way to stop that from happening all the time. (I already had 2-22" screen in use (that's why I had to use the USB to HDMI adapter to get the video signal...both ports on the GPU were occupied). Anyway, every time the UAC kicks in, or you CTRL-ALT-DEL or something like that, Windows darkens one of the big screens, and kicks the little monitor offline, at least until you answer the UAC prompt. Takes a moment or two to get it to come back. Sometimes it doesn't come back. And things get weirder. Would love to talk to Phil by email or something to ask how he solved that.
@Pyrotech777
If Jay and other YouTubers didn’t post vids like these, my first build a week ago would have been shit. Thank you for all you do ❤️. Also... I needed this a week ago 😝
@joshuafino3560
Hey JZ, at 540 where you mention the hazard of grounding out the back plate, ive successfully used the foam padding that some of these low power devices ship with to create a dielectric buffer to any potential hazards, by trimming it to fit.
@willg955
Phil should've used Wingdings on Jay's PC, lol.

How do I like this video a thousand times? I'm currently working on making an antique (1940's) radio cabinet into a PC case, and I've been trying to find out how I could put a small panel into the old tuner readout and make it display these kind of stats, all while making it look like era-appropriate radio dials/gauges. This is exactly what I was looking for to get started. I think it'll take alot of tinkering and maaaaybe further customization but it's an awesome start. Thanks Jay! Edit: I've downloaded Aida64 Extreme and found that you can choose to make your own custom gauges. You just need to create 16 png files that show the indicator going from 0-100 (or whatever scale you use). I was worried the gauge could only be square-ish with a circular style indicator like they have, but I made a quick-and-dirty test of a long, horizontal gauge with a red line that goes from left-to-right and it's working to show CPU and memory utilization. This will be perfect for making what I want! Now I just need to improve my Photoshop skills...
@The1993mustanglx
Just in case anyone was wondering a 7 inch display like jay has in the video. With the tabs sawn off like the 5 inch display he modified. Fits in the back of a lian li 011 dynamic covering the Der Bauer plate and some of the rear vent almost like it was made for it. Also I'm running a 360 AIO push pull and that hangs down far enough to cover the cables and not impede the screen..
@axelbrunn7296
Can you share a download link to Phils screen setup / config. This looks really neat!
@darklight8675
Wouldn't mind paying extra if cases came with pre installed with precise cutting.
@TCreatorO
In the price breakdown, you forgot to mention the $40 per year, for the software lol, that caught me by surprise

@hquest
I did something like this maybe 20 years ago. Back in the day, was using those small 4-lines, dotted LCD green screens. It was fun, but again, gets useless for 95% of users - 3% have a valid use and the remaining 2% will keep maintaning it for the looks.
@hankventurez
What would be cool is one that fits in the optical drive spot. Allowing you to place it under or over your current disk drive .
@mjntro
When do we get phil's own tutorial-series about everything he knows better than jay? 😆
