Kind of, but was thinking more a waving flag but leaving the white part clear, so it looked good as a flag but also showed off the build as well.

Your build is Welsh enough!

So more like this?

Well I guess to get a ball park figure of cost you would need something like this formula:

Case + Monitor/Panel + Lighting (£30/£40) + Controller (£40) + Consumables (£5/£10) + Labour + Shipping

Case - Would need the case to work on to install the panel and lighting so that's why its included.

Monitor/Panel - This would need to be the right size for the window and I think newer screens would provide better transparency and image quality but I've not tested to what extent. Obviously this is a very variable cost depending on the size needed and quality of the panel.

Lighting - This would be LED strips, Molex connectors and diffusers.

Controller - The controller and power boards that come with monitors are usually to big and bulky to be used but of course if possible they will be used but usually a smaller one is needed to mount nicely into the case. (The prices of these can vary quite a lot depending on the panel but this is average) A power adapter is also needed for the LCD. I'm looking into the possibility of connecting the LCD into the PSU. Most monitors require 12v 4a so theoretically it should work.

Consumables - This is things like electrical tape, screws, solder, wires etc

Labour - Whatever you think is reasonable I guess I've not worked out a figure for this

Shipping - I've no idea but I'm an hour above London, so however much it would be to ship a case.

That's more like it

The perfect media for my build? Slowly fade into the waving flag > 5 seconds on > slowly fade out > 5 seconds off. Get to show off the build and have one hell of an awesome side panel for... Erm... Showing off

Think I need to step away from the internet before you add even more cost and complexity to the build lol but must admit I was expecting it to cost more than that, so even more of an impressive mod for that kind of cash! Depending on the cost of the monitor obviously...

OK, now you're just being silly. Go have a cold shower and have a word with yourself

Kind of like this? I just want to show how easy it is to implement anything you can think of

NB. Excuse the black bars, I threw this video together very quickly

- Showing the NZXT PUCK IT! Ad

So after I made this initial video I decided to enter NZXT's competition to design a promo image or video for the new cable management puck that they have started selling as a standalone item rather than just something that comes bundles in ith the S340

So...Long story short I was lucky enough to become a finalist!!

Please check out my most in the general discussion section for more info and to help me out by voting for my design. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for checking it out.
