So who's going to try their hand at installing this?

The atomic purple is my absolute favorite. Do you have a link to the RGB mod? I'm curious to how much power the lights draw.

Question have you seen the 1200p screen upgrade. Do you think it would be worth it?

TL;DR it used too much power, follow up post:

I have seen the 1200p screen. Pretty cool idea but I'm not sure the Deck needs a higher resolution. 800p seems fine for the Deck's size to me, but I'm getting a ROG Ally next week so will have to see if 1080p is better at that size. I wish the replacement screen had VRR instead.

Keep us updated on the Ally. I'm curious about it. I think I've got more the. What I need on the deck. I tinker more then I play.

Just got an email saying it shipped and should be here Monday! Need to get a ChimeraOS install drive ready.

Not who you asked but imho the 1200p screen will probably consume to much power to be worth it, especially when you consider that rendering games at that resolution would take even more graphical horsepower making it consume even more power than just what it would take to power all the extra pixels
