screen plexi mounting ?
Stingray:
My monitor lays back pretty far. The plexi just lays on two rails that run along the inside of cab. There's a notch that the plexi slides into in the back and the front is held down by the back edge of the control panel. No fasteners involved. If you need to remove it you just unclamp & unplug the control panel and then slide the plexi out.

Thius is what I'm planning, like an authentic arcade cabinet :) (Or at least that's how my soul edge cab has it)

hmmm, im in a similar situation. im making my showcase style cab so the lexan/plexi wont be like....reclining or anything, it will be straight up and down. however, it will be curved a little because the box that the monitor will go in has a curved lip as well. if i use velcro or whatever, youll be able to see it, unless there is some way that i have not thought of yet. all i know to do as of right now is take my router and route out a slot on the top, bottom, and sides so the lexan will slide in. is this a good way of doing it?
MiKman:
I too am in the same boat. My monitor is pretty vertical. My plexi will sit flat against my bezel but how I get it all to sit tight I cannot figure out just yet. My bezel is velcro'd to the tv already mabye just stick the plexi to the bezel and thats it I dunno.

The bottom edge of mine sits in a "mirror base". I don't know the correct term for it, but if you have a mirror mounted on the wall in your bathroom, it's the strip along the bottom that the mirror sits in. My plexi sits in that perfectly, and then is blocked from going back by a couple of angle braces, and the marquee bottom / speaker panel keeps it from coming forward.
