Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'
Kay:
How would you attach a monitor to this kind of build (how do people mount flat-screens generally)? And would any approach allow replacing the monitor in the future without taking a pry bar to everything? ;D
edekoning:
Most LCD's have a 100mm VESA mount. This means you just take a piece of wood and drill 4 holes into it (100mm spacing) and then screw some bolt through the wood into the monitor.

OND, this is great! I think I'm going to use this design over the Evolution or Woody. I'm completely new to this so any and all advice/tips/diagrams/pictures are GREATLY appreciated! That said, do you know when you can finish the rest of the guide? You mentioned you would post tips on t-molding, the marquee and finishing techniques prior to painting/vinyl. I can't wait to see the rest and start building my cabinet! Thanks again!!

adamrgolf, you're welcome. I'm just getting back into all things arcade related after a bit of a break from BYOAC and that includes this thread. I have some cool Metropolis themed artwork planned for this cab which will be available to download. There should be enough here to get you started. I'm a bit wary of giving completion estimates lately :-\ but let me see what I can do over the next few days?

Hi OND,
This is brilliant! Such a great walk through. I am planning a build for a 32" LCD and am looking closely at your work and modifying for the screen. I really appreciate keeping thing relatively simple, it makes it easier to get my head around things. I m definitely not a woodworker.
I also appreciate thinking of us metric folks in explaining this project. That has been one of my biggest obstacles so far. I understand you have heaps on so there's no rush, but i appreciate it all the same.
Thanks again!
