Monitor Implications

[CMIVXX]

Ok, I was spending a little time with the cab before I fully start rebuilding this puppy and decided to get a feel for how the monitor so I rigged a cheezy shelf and supports up.  The issue that I see at hand now is that the monitor is too deep for the cabinet and thus sits too close to the front for how I was going to lay the plexi.  Pics are below.

So the way I see it, I have 2 options.  

1:  I could cut a little slot in the back of the cabinet to let the monitor slide back more.

-or-

2:  I could pull the monitor out of the case it's in and just mount it manually with screws to a wooden plate I would make.

I've seen both done on this board before, so if anybody has an opinion, please chime in.

I'd take it out of its case and mount it to wood like you said.

I agree - take it out of the case, and if you are feeling really game, make it rotatable.
