[Chris, aka Mosquito’s Mods]  is widely known for some incredible PC situation mods. He’s outdone himself this time around with an embedded LCD panel as his situation window. This utilize of an LCD is ending up being typical on arcade games as well as slot machines. [Chris] was influenced by an arcade game he saw at a regional Dave & Buster’s. He started with an off the shelf 16″ USB LCD screen from AOC. [Chris] then stripped off the back light, diffuser, as well as reflectors. entrusted to  the bare panel as well as polarizers, he then produced an LCD sandwich of sorts. very first a layer of 2mm acrylic. then the LCD as well as panel, together with 4 strips of acrylic developing a frame around the LCD. The frame strips are in blue in the picture after the break.

The final layer is a thick piece of 6mm acrylic. The thick acrylic keeps the window assembly from bending, which would cause a cracked LCD. The entire assembly is held together with 3M scotch 4010 tape. White LED strips around the LCD radiate lots of light into the case, enabling the pictures on the LCD to be seen. The final impact is stunning. pictures on the LCD appear to be floating in area somewhere behind the window. The impact works finest with back as well as white images, as color is understandably a bit washed out.
