Thanks, and what's the best way to do that? Do I need to get me another angled bit??

Does it make a difference which side i put the screws in from for the supports? Realise ive done them form the inside, but instructions say from outside... its all pretty stable but wondered if there was a reason and if i should drive some in from the other side too...?
edit... also, how are people holding the monitor in place? i have braces for positioning, but how do you hold? i was wondering about straps?

It will make a difference in how much filling and sanding you need to do, but as long as there's a good connection between the pieces you should be fine.

Cool thanks - that's why i whacked them in from the inside out of instinct (to reduce the filling)

I've hit a bit of a conundrum. I'm pretty certain all my measurements have been good, but I seem to have something wrong. See the pic below
The bezel isn't yet fixed in place, but the angle needs to be a bit greater to line up with the sides. This is fine, but need to cut a chunk out of my back braces to get it to go back far enough.
BUT even now, and exaggerated when I put it back a bit, the marquee bottom piece is far too short to connect the top of the bezel to where the front of it needs to be in order for it to be straight. Any thoughts?
Also, the marquee top piece doesn't seem to have room to fit in (and I'm not sure of the purpose of it since I already have a piece which can hold the marquee...)
Any thoughts/advice appreciated!
