b. Description
of my case:
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 case mod where nearby all used hardware was visible. This was the
beginning of my EIZO FlexScan T68 case mod project, where you could see the
hardware I have used for my project through the acrylic glass I have build
into the front of my old monitor.
