I think from a radiator perspective, the TX240 and LT240 are pretty much equivalent temp wise. I did some testing earlier with the Phanteks halos between the radiator and the slim Noctuas (basically acting as a shroud) and the noise profile was better (less motor whine and resonance, and more wind woosh, a more pleasant sound). And it might cool better but I have to test this.
Sharp has a line of 'memory LCDs' that might suit your needs; they're persistent and highly reflective. A small company has designed a new handheld around this display, it's called the Playdate. A couple of game devs I know have played prototypes and raved about this screen. Something to look into.
I'll check into it, however, I suspect the reflective is based on a coated glass solution? This might make it tough to fit into the infinity mirror area. I have considered other applications such as wireless eink, and such.
I already tested one of the sharp displays of this family, I'd need to find a FPC to USB or HDMI connector to make it work. Otherwise, it would work well, I wonder if this is what NZXT is using.
Agreed, tried it with my screens and was really disappointed with the result.Originally I wanted to do this, but we sort of decided against it cause to make it readable it would potentially take up a lot of the grill blocking airflow. I've tested an individual wired pixel display with individual LEDs on each hole but this isn't practical for the home user as there are wires everywhere. Airflow wasn't affected though
Truth be told, I'd like a plain distro plate much better or several versions of the distro plate. Personally I find infinity mirrors just tacky, just like wood or leather. Just matte metal for me like the rest of the case.
Normally RGB is hard to pull off, but that Phanteks Halo looks great on Chromax!
Bruh. Here I thought we have reached maximum aesthetics points with the normal distro plate. Putting a screen there would be bonkers.2020-04-19 Update: Distro Infinity
As I mentioned prior, I think the Distro Plate is a superior alternative to Custom hard tubes. The Distro Plate can work with existing tubes with minimal bends, and it can loop in GPU without complication.
Thanks to Metroversal for the photoshop work to help me illustrate the Distro Infinity Plate.
Thermo might help me prototype a E-Ink or LCD display where the Infinity Mirror is located. I like to show temps, fan speed and some info on that area. I want these stats to *float in the middle of the blackhole / void created by Infinity Mirror.
Maybe, fabio is the 1 and we, the rest, are the 99.I think 1/100 is more realistic
more like 1 in 300, as I've not seen much content (particularly in regards to trying things out) of the buyers from QQ. ?
I have seen about 7 or 8 build logs in Chinese forums (definitely QQ buyers) and perhaps I will remember to link them here when I come across them.
Yeah I came across some basic builds with pretty much recommended parts as well.
Thought we were talking about people bending the boundaries and "restrictions"
But feel free to link them. maybe you can join forces with @threestripevida on the document he shared

Can't say. In my understanding reflectivity comes from the plate which sits behind the liquid crystal layer, often a treated metal.
What apparently makes this display stand out is the lack of any visible pixel grid, such that all on pixels form a continuous black mass. Given the screen's high reflectivity its most interesting aesthetic is 'dark mode', aka white-on-black, this being the inverse of traditional one-bit LCDs.
The front is panel skin / plate is modular, just do turn off LED and use a flat skin / plate.
The rendering is meant to show modularity of the front.
