Idea
When my fantastic EIZO FlexScan T68 died I felled very sorry since we already have been friends

through 8 years where the EIZO FlexScan T68 monitor have given me the best pictures I ever have

seen on a monitor. So I thought this should not be the end of my great EIZO so my imagination was

questioned how could I still get anything out of my old monitor, even if it not could deliver any pictures

anymore?

Since I like to have a PC case with my one touch I thought it could be nice to make a complex monitor

case mod where both PC and LCD monitor is installed in one unit. This was the beginning of my EIZO

FlexScan T68 Analog LCD case mod project, where you could see the LCD monitor through the acrylic

glass I have build into the front of my old monitor.

g. Air flow:

I have installed some FANs in the Cooler Master Complexity 2009 Case Mod to increase

the air flow.

I only measured the temperature by hand and it did not fell any hot! Also the “Monitor”

has a meshed surface – which allows air both seep in / out.

But there will always be some areas with less air flow like in a normal PC case in this

case I’m a little concerned about the area around the hard drives.

I have installed some 80 mm FANs in the Cooler Master Complexity 2009 Case Mod to

increase the air flow also I have installed a 92 mm exhaust FAN in the top of the monitor

mod.
