If you want to build a PC with SnowBlind mod, then I really recommend the Fractal Design Torrent Compact white and the LG Flatron L1919S. The Torrent Compact fits a 19" monitor almost perfectly, and this monitor has a one-sided PCB and a very small 5V VGA controller.
I made this mod several times and can confirm that they fit the best

In one sense you have a point … The display won’t be clear as an actual backlit screen and limited in what you choose to put on it to be visible.
In another sense … Yeah sorry its still cool as hell looking even for useless “ambience”. Especially when well fitted over a bright white case interior.
