About my pc case

[u/Historical-Win-8348]

Hello everyone, I’d like to ask for a recommendation from people who really know their stuff. I really like cases with built-in displays—I want a computer case with a built-in screen where I can view metrics like the computer’s temperature. When I look at cases with built-in displays, they cost around $200 in my country; they’re probably not the highest quality, but they’ll get the job done. But then I had an idea: what if I got something like a James Donkey portable monitor, mounted it inside a case I like, and fed the signal from my graphics card? That way, I’d essentially have a built-in screen, and this method would also cost around $200—plus I’d get a bigger screen. It probably won’t look as sleek as a pre-built setup, but if I can put it together properly, it looks like it’ll turn out pretty well. So, which do you think is better? Or if anyone has other good suggestions, I’m open to them. Let’s assume there are no issues with outputting the video or with my system’s capabilities. The only concern I have is whether building it myself might cause a technical issue, like overheating the inside of the case. I’ve seen some small screens that attach to the graphics card or are supported by it, but I didn’t like them because they’re too small. My 12-year-old brother told me that if I get him a screen with an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, he could build one for me exactly the way I want it, but I don’t really know much about these things.

I mean a small usb powered hdmi display is cheap but you’d be taking an extra port away so limit to 2-3 monitors instead of 3-4 depending on the card. Otherwise I see no issue. avoid the rpi solution as it’ll be more work for no gain to keep running long term imo
