Are there any guides on digital side panels?

 

[|||]

Are you referring to the digital signage LCD-on-glass panel that iBuyPower developed with Intel?

Are you talking about mounting an LCD/Laptop monitor on the side of your case or???

Yes, that, and there was some other PC building service which was in a H440.

Ask Mosquito on TheModZoo forums. He made one a few years back.

edit: Whoops didnt realize the link above was to his mod lol.

If you want the simple guide:

1) Find a simple monitor
2) Gut it
3) Keep only the Panel, polarizing filters, and panel controller
4) Attach Panel, Filter, and controller to side panel.
5) Put in a lot of white LED's to work as backlight
6) Run HDMI/DP/DVI cable out the back and into a GPU/Motherboard
7) ...
8) Profit

USB monitors work VERY well for this if you have the money to throw out. Just be careful as they can break relatively easy. Did a mod like this a year or two ago to incorporate into my Acorn build, but I couldnt get enough light into the case to be able to work as the backlight. You need something on the scale of a professional camera light source for it to work due to it not having a back plate to reflect light off of.

Pretty much exactly this. I did this almost 8 years ago now with a USB monitor. I ended up not finishing the mod, but the concept worked well. I was going to revisit it with a newly revised project, but I just couldn't get enough backlighting in the required configuration.
