Hello guys. So I Wanted to get a Corsair Nexus originally for on keyboard hardware monitor but the 99$ price felt way too much for that useless piece of hardware. Decided to make my own Nexus mode (Pretty sure I saw 2 more similar style modes later on reddit also.) but here's my take on it. Got a 7.9 inch 1280X400 Waveshare screen since I wanted to keep the design language similar to Corsair Nexus. Unfortunately this model came with a bit of challenges. No casing was available for this and more than that veerryyy less amount of 1280x400 size sensor panels here, almost close to none. So first, custom DIY'd made the case from stuff laying in my storage. Mainly my LGv40 case and Intel CPU box. For sensor panel I used the base panel of "Exhumed" And "Rodney" and a few stuff from Cyberpunk pack, edited and created a 966X400 size panel. Update the stuff I needed and fit in it with design changes in photoshop. And for the side extra space left on the 1280x400 display. I Pre-searched for cyberpunk wallpaper on Wallpaper Engine which had some cool animations and Audio reactive panel. So according to the middle empty area I choose the panel resolution later. once this was done. Sensor panel fitted perfectly between the Wallpaper and the whole 1280X400 size is being used. Took me a while to figure out stuff. But worked out okay in the end And cost total of 96$ including long cables and screen. Now I know there are a lot of Chinese prebuild screens of this ratio and some of lamptron too. But well China isn't shipping to India anymore and anything from US/UK store will cost a lot of extra money for shipping. This wholly was done keeping the goal budget of 99$ in mind. Peace <3
