Bezel and Marquee Mounting
Peeper:
Thanks, 1UP. That is basically how I plac on mounting the bezel: Groove at the top and bottom, and maybe some siderails on the backside. I was just wondering if there was a better way.
One Question about the marquee retainer, though. How does it look on the sides? Do the sides of the marquee plexi show at the edges? Or should I recess the top and speaker panels so that the sides of the cabinet hide the edges of the plexi? I'm assuming that if that's the way to go, then the retainer is flexiable enough to 'give' a little to get past the edges of the cabinet...

For my marquee mounting, (which is a custom print at kinkos mounted between two pieces of lexan), I used marquee mounting material from HAPPS for top and bottom noted in previous post.
For the sides, I acquired a plastic edging material from Home Depot (which is sold for mounting bathroom panels together). I only found white and beige colors so I took a white and just spray painted with a semi gloss black. This makes a nice neat "frame" on the side edges and slips under the marquee mount on top/bottom.
This also allows the right/left to be nice and snug so there is no light leak from the 24" flourescent fixture backlighting the marquee.
Hope this helps.
