Habbler, Is that a standard Slikstik cab you have there? I have one and I think I will be going LCD in the future. If yours is, can you post the model number of your LCD and tell me how you mounted it in there? Thanks. |

yes its the standard 27" arcade monitor slikstik cab. When I received it the tube was beyond repair, so I took that out, and the cab came with a shelf that I can put inside at any level. I put that at an angle and mounted it to hold a 21" CRT monitor for about 6 months. Last months I removed that shelf. Bought a few carriage bolts and made a few sections of 1x4. I have two long pieces on the left and right mounted to the cab through the old Arcade monitor brackets using the carriage bolts I got. Once I had that set I figured out where I wanted the monitor positioned and marked it off. We cut one more piece and mounted it horizontal on top of 2 block supports. Once that was done I looked at how much extra wood I had poking out from the cab and my plexi was not laying flush so I marked it off and took the table saw to make it flush. Screwed the whole thing together. Sprayed it with flat black and mounted the whole thing up. Monitor is a Samsung T260HD 1920x1200 Resolution. It comes with a small post that has to be attached to the bottom in order to sit on its base. I took the base off and we notched in a hole for the post on the back of the horizontal board. This makes the monitor sit nice and flat and the angle I wanted for 4 player games. With the plexi off this is how it looks fully mounted. and since the T260HD has a TV Tuner inside it also came with this bad boy. |

Very nice, thank you. The pics will help. I'll not be able to work on my machine for about 14 months, but man, when I do get another chance, I'm REALLY going to finish it! It's only been about 4 years now, so, uh, yeah! |

Hopefully that gives people some inspiration. |
