what should i put underneath my monitor?
shateredsoul:
I have all this extra space underneath my monitor.. the Bezel will actually be held up higher than it appears in the pic (it slid down, and I can't take a pic while holding it in place).
The thing is tomorrow my friend and I are going to mount it along with the lcd monitor which requires removing the back, so tomorrow may be the last time I get to do any cutting or route anything out.
Any ideas of something that might look good in that spot under the monitor?
Here are some previous Ideas i've had
1. 7" monitor - decided too much trouble, causes some games like blaz blue to not work, and I've decided I don't really need it
2. Imon home media pc attachment -
3. Maybe some instructions?

I put a USB hub (for game pads or whatever), external USB DVD-ROM drive (for loading software or running games that require a CD/DVD while running), and two illuminated buttons that are wired so that ther act as a Pause and Exit in MAME:

Hmm a usb hum may work, and I do have an extra external drive, but I'd rather avoid having the monitor. I have hyperspin display the controls right before it launches mame so I really see no use for the 2nd screen (plus it makes some things a bit more complicated).
Dazz:
I'd still go with the 7" monitor... It may not be of much use right now, but the next version of HyperSpin will utilize dual monitors.
Also, for BlazBlue the second screen can be disabled prior to launch and then re-enabled upon exit.
There is plenty of room there on the sides of the 7" where a USB hub could be placed... If you setup is like mine then your 7" will have glass in front of it as well and you wouldn't be able to access the USB hub anyway.
