I'm good- just have to figure out how to mount the TV, then it is time to paint! I can do it!
Well Fed Games:
Still working on this. I had masked and spray-painted a bezel on the back of the smoked glass, but it did not come out well at all (perhaps the green "Frog Tape" isn't so great after all), so I made a bezel to be printed on photo paper ($3 at costco, 11x14) that I will cut the middle out of tonight and will sandwich with a piece of plexi on top of the glass. Maybe overkill, but it also adds a little bit of flavor to the monitor area, that was a little plain.
I would have this done if I could break my Team Fortress 2 addiction.
BobA:
Keep going it is almost that time. I was also looking at Costco to print some marquees do you know how the paper they use transmits light?

Thanks! I am making progress- the balance between keeping the size down and making it practical to assemble is something that has hung me up a bit. but i will be finishing the structural side of things today, then it is just paint, t-molding, and decals.
For the bezel I got at Costco, the photo paper is pretty thick. I did try a photo paper marquee at Walgreens, and it was too think to transmit light well. (I ended up getting a duplicate marquee printed with my Chinese sideart stickers, and when stuck to the plexi, it transmits great). At one point I considered sanding down the back of the photo paper, but was pretty sure I would ruin it somehow trying that.
