PC Monitor in cocktail cab questions
danny_galaga:
i'd actually assumed he knew that and was worried about the case where something goes wrong and the frame becomes live. this is what i did for my decase job. as you can see its almost a case again!! thats because i wanted it to be as slim as possible since it rotates. if it wasn't rotating i probably would have left it in the case

Perhaps someone should start a "Computer Monitors with boards attached to the tube" topic...
I nominate the expert of using/decasing monitors for use in arcade machines, drumroll please... ... ...

the problem isnt that the board is attached to the tube. once there is no case, the board isn't attached to anything!! other than by wires to the tube which is the case regardless...

I can supply pics showing my solution to this. Easier in a cocktail orientation though.
shelf under cocktail top panel has a cutout for the tube and edge of the chassis board, 4 bolts for the tube, 2 for the chassis, and some thin sheet metal strips from the bottom edge of the chassis to the top two ears to stop it from moving around too much.

I must take the opporunity to thank Spriggy here, he sent me a very detailed way to do this, which if all goes well I may get around to doing tomorrow. Just a matter of getting spare time and a friend to help.
However, it would still be nice to see those pics you mentioned. One can never absorb too much info before attempting something like like this.
Decasing and mounting doesn't sound too hard except this whole issue of the unattatched board, hmmm hopefully mine won't be too hard a model to deal with.
