Any examples of installing monitor glass/plexi?

I prefer using a carboard bezel behind the glass, instead of painting the glass. First, it's really hard to get perfect professional looking edges when painting. Second, it can be easy to mess up and get paint where you don't want it. Third, by not painting, that leaves you the option in the future to change your bezel to one with artwork on it.

Some valid points.  I found if I was careful and used a razor, however, it was really easy to get the masked edges straight.  Also any paint that winds up where it shouldn't be can be removed from glass (but not plexi!) with a Razor when dry.

Anyway, I think I hijacked the thread here, back to the topic of attaching glass/plexi!

Stingray's pic up there is of a BluePrint cabinet. Then the next pic shows it's now black. I was just making the obligatory "you desecrated an original!" posting.



Stingray:

Yes I did paint it. The artwork looks much nicer in the pics than it did in real life. It had been badly slashed with a pocket knife and drawn on with marker. I took pictures of it before removing it and I intend to vecorize it for the artwork library to atone for my sin of removing it. In my defense, the cab was pretty well trashed by the time I got my hands on it, I'm pretty sure I rescued it from a date with the dumpster.

This is how it looks now:

What happened to your side art?  Or was this pic taken before you put it on?
