Hey guys. I've had my computer for a couple months now and i think i'm ready for a new project. I have a thermaltake overseer RX-i which is a HUGE! case. what i was thinking, is that i would buy a 17inch laptop replacement screen and build it into the metal side (the right side) of my case. I understand this would create more heat in the case. i understand that all.. what i was asking, is if anyone has any suggestions or opinions on this, that would be great. If not a laptop replacement screen, what kind of screen would you recommend for the monitor to be built into the side. Thanks TTG community!

No need for a modest-priced laptop screen, if you're adamant about a window, just get a high quality sheet of plexiglass

I already have a little window thing on the left side of my tower. I was wanting to build a 17" laptop screen into the right side of my case. that way. I would put my tower on my desk and pretty much use the tower as a monitor, either alone, or dual monitoring it with my current monitor.. Heres what i have so far.
