Any chance you can get a 19" CRT for proper 4:3?

A 20" LCD @ 1600x1200 is an ideal 4:3 panel.

FWIW, I read it as a 20" widescreen. I still prefer CRT's for classic video games, but proper 4:3 is even more important.
The happs bezel isn't a big deal if he was planning on using a DK artwork bezel. Taped black construction paper to the monitor works just fine (you can't even see it).

The monitor is 20" 4:3. These are getting tough to find in my area. I found it on craigslist for $70 and had to drive an hour to pick it up. It works like new and is viewable at a 45 degree angle. The happ bezel was more of a fix to hide the bizarre monitor mount than for anything else. I don't think black paper would have done the job this time.
I rolled the paint on, then back-brushed it to knock down the orange peel. It layed-off good.
I used a 1/2 lambswool roller and 3" angled Purdy brush.

Got it mostly done it time for the Super Bowl party. It was a big hit. I still need to install the side art and monitor plexi. The picture doesn't show it, but the marquee really looks great in person.
2 people at the party are giving me deposits soon for their own cabinets.
