OK, I get it now
You could put a hinge near the top or bottom of the screen or a pivot in the middle.
I think a hinge at the bottom would be best so that you could keep a constant on the amount of spacing from the control panel.

I'm shopping for parts right now.
I hope I'll be ready to build along with you on your M2 project
Could you post a parts list of what you plan to use?
I had an idea of using ball transfer units around the wood circle for the monitor rotation

Possibly sandwiching the lower portion of the circle to keep it from flipping up.
These roll really well, you might have seen them on a conveyor assembly before

Well, I really like the Quadro mount too.
The "skate wheels" fit into the rim so that it's impossible for it to flip up
You would just need to weld the octagon frame and drill out holes for the wheels, motor mount, and switches.
You could weld your tilt hinges onto the octagon frame as well.

I found out from Carsten that the Quadro mount IS actually based on a bicycle rim and the motor to turn it is just a wiper motor off of a car ;D

Hey KrawDaddy!
Where did you go dude?
I'm still working on getting my parts together.
I have an ArcadeVGA and IPAC on the way and I hope to get a monitor within the next week
Can you give me a rough idea of the other stuff I'll need so I can be working on getting it all together?
If I end up with a few extra materials that will still be fine.
I'll just use it on my second project ;D
