Yeah, don't bother with the plastic prefabs, just make one yourself, I did one for this project, and it worked well, although I did end up re-trimming it right up to the very last day to get it perfectly flush with the monitor glass... http://www.mameworld.net/massive/Cabinet/Cabin/Cabin.html |

I see the bezel is fixed to the table top. i figure it must have been difficult to adjust and trim to get perfect fit to the monitor screen. any tips on this? |

Thanks! U used regular corrugated cardboard, staples and duct tape to get the whole thing to work. The cardboard was a bit of a pain because I had to slice it halfway through to make the corners work. To make it sit flush against the monitor I used just a pencil running along the contour of the monitor, although at the very end I borrowed a cheap compass out of my kid's school bag and put a new plade in the knife. That allowed me to get it perfect, although I don't think I got a shot of the final product well lit. The good thing about using the cardboard is that if you screw it up completely, you can just chuck it and start over! Hope this helps! |
