"Woody" Office Desk Top From Plug N Play

Maybe im missing something, but is it not possible to lower that screen a bit?
That LT patented galaga bezel looks great, but I still think the screen is to high.

+1 - And if it can't be centered in the bezel for some reason I'd rotate it so the large empty space is on the top rather than the bottom.

Ok as far as playability it is not too high I will put the bezel on there and see if it looks better. If not I can lower the screen it will be a pain in the --I'm attempting to get by the auto-censor and should be beaten after I re-read the rules-- to lower that screen though because of the way it's put together. It can be done, is it worth it ?

WHether it is worth it or not depends on you -- It justs looks a bit off not being centered in the opening but with a bezel that might look different -- It's just it kind of resembles the full size cabs that use a 12" monitor in a build that could fit a 19 or 20". 

Was just thinking it would look a bit better if centered like below :

Dude, just write "ass".

and for a more pro look, you should buy a nice on-off button build into the cabinet, intstead of the wire button...

i don't know, i kinda like the inline power switch.  I'm totally doing that on mine.  Its just clean.  I have custom etched buttons too, I'm gonna save them for another build.

Finished: I think the printed bezel makes it look better. I just couldn't justify taking it completely apart, and having to bust glue joints.

That pic is little dark. I didn't feel like dragging my DSLR out.
Officially Finished and on to my next project....

The first cab old I built converted to a sit down racer

I don't want to disappoint Yotsuya. Seriously, he is right though.

When it comes to aesthetics, Yot is always right.

Bezel does help quite a bit. 

[jaharr01]

Yes, I have respect for Yotsuya's opinion. To be honest sometimes you are enamored with your build and can't see little things that would make it better. I have learned to use constructive criticism to my advantage. It was actually a little hard at first. Mostly because the bar is set to a higher level here.

[DaOld Man]

That bezel makes all the difference in the world. Looks great.
Nice build!!
 

[yotsuya]

Yeah, big improvement. 

[jaharr01]

thanks all It turned out well. The only thing I didn't like is that wood grain on the CP looked weird. It didn't take stain well. I may bring it home and put a better piece of wood on there, who knows.
