Think I will just reply with "thanks" for that one :D .
No thanks guys for the comments, the only really original part of the build from me was putting the limit switched on a adjustable post to fine tune the final screen position.
Speaking of screens its a 21" and was what was already in it - and just about spun when decased.
One other thing of note is why the hell don`t the manufacturers have the real pivot point exactly center of the vesa mount?.
So I forgot I had some pics on my phone from the first fitting, as a rethink was needed to overcome some cable friction that was sorted with a cut out and a crafty twist and anchor.

If I had mine to do over again, I'd use a 21-22" 4:3 LCD instead of a widescreen.
It looks much nicer without so much bezel around the monitor.

It supposed to be centered by weight, but manufacturers aren't required to adhere to that.

Does anyone still make a 4:3 that big? Everything seems to be widescreen now. :(
