From what I can gather, there is no way to mount a universal-mount monitor onto a shelf. Perhaps I could mount the top brackets of the K7400 to the speaker area overhang, but it doesn't look like it would be thick enough to support it.

The shelf-mount monitors that I've found are 19" max, so the TV isn't looking like as bad of an option anymore.

I have owned and worked with around 110 different arcade monitors and I have never encountered one that couldn't be mounted easily on a shelf, other than a couple of japanese ones that didn't have frames at all.

Can this be done without a hack job of the original monitor frame, or is a huge overhaul needed for the universal->horizontal conversion?
paigeoliver:
At the most you will still be sitting the monitor on the shelf, but you will also be adding 2x4's to the side of the cab (or whatever size you need) to run the actual mounting bolts into. The shelf will still be taking the brunt of the weight. Anyway, it will almost certainly have a place to put mounting bolts through the bottom as well.

Like I said, I have never really encountered much trouble in trying to mount an arcade monitor.
Thread Killer:
Were those 25" monitors in the neighborhood of 70-80 lbs? I might go with a 24" TV that is approximately 73 lbs, and I'm wondering how the shelf will be able to support that, considering that I can barely lift the 80-lb. Philips TV in my room.
paigeoliver:
You are worrying for nothing, all that stuff is overbuilt, I weigh close to 250 and I can stand on the monitor shelf in most cabinets.
