Wall Mounted MP3 jukebox
AlanS17:
Another reason a thinner wall-mount would be prefereable would be the weight factor. Trying to hang a monitor on the wall if there are no really great supports in the wall is gonna be very difficult. A thin unit is still probably not gonna be THAT light. Putting one THROUGH the wall would solve that problem, but it's already been established that its not an option.
A flip-out panel for the amp might be kind of cool for showing the guests, but most people would probably be more impressed with a tight, sealed box. You could even keep the keyboard and mouse somewhere else entirely since they're wireless, and just bring them out when you wanna type on it.
Touch screen CRT's can be had for a reasonable price (thought they are heavy), but touch-screen LCD's are prohibitively expensive. Your best bet for finding one would probably be to find one on Ebay that was used for a specific purpose like a POS terminal or perhaps some in-car display...

Well, it looks like I am going to have to nix the amplifier inside the MP3 jukebox. After careful consideration I realized I'll have to have a cabinet for my cable box under the MP3 jukebox anyway, so i am just going to have my HK receiver in there as well. This way I can switch the ceiling speakers between the TV and MP3 jukebox.
here is my design (very crude)

My house burned to the foudation because of an electrical short/resistance that over time built up enough heat to get the fiberglass smoldering.
I don't know what the flash point of fiberglass is, but best not to tempt fate. ;)

Vis. sorry to hear about your house, but something else must have caught, fiberglass fibre doesn't burn. At least not at any temperature you would see from electrical heat. Fiberglas panels (like a corvette) will burn evenutally, but require a LOT of heat to pull the resin from the fiber. And then you're left with something that's shaped like a corvette, but made entirely of loose fibers.

FINALLY! A fiberglass topic on BYOAC (and I missed replying in time). Fiberglas(s) will melt, but everything around it must be incredibly hot already (hot enough to melt sand, actually). The kraft paper backing, on the other hand, has a relatively low flashpoint (and some manufacturer's resin/adhesives actually reduce the flashpoint).
I like the idea of a corvette made entirely of loose fibers, though...

The vette was pretty cool when it was done burning. Plus the Huge chunk of alluminum left underneath when it cooled. Lot's of parts you would think were made of steel apparently aren't. BTW fire was hot enough to do pretty severe damage to a building 30+ feet away, but again, no actual fiberglass damage : )
