Case CH160 full LCD side panel
I've finally finished installing a secondary display inside my DeepCool CH160, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
I used a 13.3-inch BOE NE133QDM-N65 LCD panel, mounted behind the tempered glass, turning it into a fully functional second monitor rather than just a decorative screen.
My setup:
- Case: DeepCool CH160
- Main hardware: Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, ASUS RTX 5060 Dual OC
- 2nd Display: 13.3" BOE NE133QDM-N65
- Controller board: eDP LCD controller
- Connection: only 1 USB-C (thunderbolt)
- Function: Independent secondary display detected by Windows
The goal was to make the inside of the case more interesting while keeping the display genuinely useful. I can use it for system monitoring, temperatures, hardware usage, music controls, or even animated wallpapers.
Getting the panel fitted behind the glass was the fun part, but figuring out the display controller and getting everything working properly took some experimentation.
Now I'm looking for ideas on how to make the most of it. I'm thinking about a clean hardware-monitoring dashboard or a futuristic animated display that makes the build look like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Installed Lively Wallpaper
What would you put on a screen like this? Any suggestions for software, Rainmeter skins, or custom dashboards would be greatly appreciated!
