Donkey Kong Themed Bartop
Jigenjuke:
Hey mate, you don't have to create bezel artwork for this project. I resized what I had for my bartops and zipped it for you. Hope this helps.

Great looking project. Amazing attention to detail, a top shelf project all the way around.
Really really good work.
I have three bartop's I'm working on. Sadly I broke one of the monitors so I now need to purchase a 15" LCD.
Was it easy to de-case your monitor ?

I agree, great projects!! Mike You don't have to de-case the monitors. For the three bartops that I made I kept the monitors in the cases because all of the monitors had nice threads for bolts. I just put in a cross piece inside the cabinet and mounted the monitor to it. The weight of the monitor cases is minimal so I just left them as they were. You can kind of see what I did in this thread.

Mike,
It was very easy to de-case the monitor. The plastic bezel was removed by running a small flat head screwdriver around the outer edge to unlatch the plastic tabs.

I appreciate the info, thank you.
Not to take away from your thread, but I ended up breaking the neck of one of my monitors.
I figure a 15" LCD @ $40 used is better (and easier to find) then a 13" arcade monitor.
I'm thinking every little fraction of an inch will help, hence the reason for de-casing.
Again I think you !
