    EIZO FlexScan T68 Monitor – Gaming Case Mod 2009

    EIZO FlexScan T68 Monitor – Gaming Case Mod 2009 - PART 1 of 14

    By Coolone


    a. Name of mod:
    EIZO FlexScan T68 Monitor – Gaming Case Mod 2009


    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.

    you forgot to fit the LCD screen into it, then it would be a good mod.

    I don’t like the idea with an LCD in front of this monitor mod.

    Since my idea was to build a case mod where the hardware I have used should be visible like in these cases with window side plates.
