Should I expand my cabinet to accomadate a 27" TV?
paigeoliver:
You can always just uncase the sucker, and then it should fit in any big cabinet.
I am about to shoehorn a 27" monitor vertically in a classic 19" cabinet.

Those are the exact games I'm worried about.... so they don't run on your computer full speed?

Thanks to those who replied
I'm not too concerned about power-on problems, I'm just going to rewire the power/volume/channel buttons to actual pushbuttons underneath near the computer so I can turn the computer/TV on while I'm down there.
Anyway about uncasing the TV, are there any dangers to that? I mean I would take the proper precautions but I mean while it's in there and on should I have anything to worry about? Would I need shielded speakers with it uncased? Any modifications needed to a TV without a case or will it sit on the monitor shelf perfectly?
paigeoliver:
When uncased you will have to mount the tube on a piece of wood, and the monitor chassis on another piece of wood.

One thing paige forgot to mention is discharging the tv. Would be a really good idea to read the follow page

Hope this fixes up and concers you have about opening up your tv. I've done this, its a bit scary the first time, but keep one hand in your pocket and you'll do fine.
ZZzzzzaapp! :o
