Which hinges for CP top?

I'm a fan of the euro hinges.  They're completely adjustable and hidden.

Trip:

I have a piano hinge and it works great.

No offense to anyone, but there is no reason why you would need an exposed hinge on a CP, unless it's some funky weird shape.  All the time and $$ invested into these things and then I see some routed out notch on a CP box with a hinge in there.

Thanks.

That is exactly the example I was looking for. I have spent hundreds of hours and tons of money and I didn't want to short myself when another $10 or $20 would give me a more polished look. I think I'm going to hinge from the back though. I like to tinker in my box and I think it would be easier the other way around.

Did someone say hidden European hinges?




(Sorry about the potato-phone pictures. :P)

The reason many people choose to front hinge is to keep the joysticks from hitting the monitor.

As long as your build doesn't have that problem, you'll be fine.
