Hi, First post, Iam currently working on my first build, and I want to have my control panel raise up by about an inch when turned on. Does anyone have experience of such a thing ?? Regards Chance |

Why not build it an inch higher? Just curious. :P |

purely aesthetic reasons, I just like the idea of pressing a button and everything moves into place. The Monitor is going to be folded down and raise (know how to do that part) and I want my controls to rise up to take the space that the monitor was accommodating. |

Linear actuator http://www.surpluscenter.com/sort.asp?SortBy=price&search=linear actuator&PAGELEN=20&PageNo=1 +Pololu Simple Motor Controller http://www.pololu.com/catalog/category/94 +guide rails (homemade?) Pretty expensive thing just for slight asthetics. It could be accomplished using the motion of the monitor being raised. How do you plan to raise the monitor? |

Piston hinges from a kitchen cabinet ,believe it will be strong enough. Be held under tension and simple switch to release so it rises |
