Build an OND designed cab 'Metropolis'

Looking at a pic of mine, i can't help but feel there is a dimensional difference in one of your parts from mine.
Obviously easier to make a new marquee bottom piece for your speakers to sit on than a bezel, make the braces smaller to correct the angle, test the angles as required before locking it all in place and you'll be gtg.

Yeah - def a dimension difference, but nothing major i dont think... i've widened substantially to fit a 27" monitor in, but otherwise everything should be the same as on the plans.
Only other thing i can think is that maybe i've somehow removed a bit too much from the rounded edges... don't see how it's possible tho as I triple measured everything!!
As you say - larger marquee bottom seems to make most sense - I'm happy with the bezel itself. And i dont mind a slightly less vertical angle on the monitor (in fact, i think i prefer it a bit)... only thing is that the Marquee top piece will be a massive slab... wonder if i might try and add in a second piece just to make the angles more friendly...

That's looking like you've got some measurements wrong somewhere, bud. There's angles out somewhere. Mine, for comparison:
Nice mantelpiece btw.
vaderag:
Yeah, looking at those both above, seems my bottom angle is to steep... Ah well, not changing it now!! Will have to work within the constraints i have and have a slightly flatter screen...
Just need to decide whether to cut a larger piece for the marquee bottom or add in a piece....

So that I get this right, can anyone tell me about the plexi they are using on their bezel? I haven't yet decided whether to use 1 sheet (tinted) or two (clear on top) with some artwork between... How thick sheets of plexi do I need in each setup? Want to make sure that, since I'm playing off book somewhat now, that I have enough space for each option!!
