Cardcade - Slim Cab Based on Knievel's Design
JamesKY:
You were right JustMichael, the glass doesn't cover up the bezel well enough to hide the imperfections so I'm gonna have to make a new one at some point. It's not a big deal though. Like I said, I just used some extra wood I had laying around figuring it would be hidden so now I'll actually take some time to make a nicer one.

I say go this route. Spend a little (LOT OF) time taping off the spots you DON'T want to paint, and paint the back of the glass with a matte black spray paint. Make sure you use good painter's tape and a very sharp x-acto knife/razor blade to cut the edges - incorporate a nice curve into it while you're at it - and this will look amazing and save you rebuilding later. I plan to do this for mine, if the TV edges show through a bit too much.

Installed a new power supply and did some cable management this weekend.

You could go to an art store and spent like $2 for some black matte board (with a black center - this is important) and then use a razor to cut out the monitor hole. This works GREAT and is way less effort than more painting.
