Paper or Cardboard Bezels, who sells them?
« on: November 20, 2006, 01:25:48 am »
HI everyone.  I'm tired of butchering my own bezel to hide the area around the monitor.  Does anyone know of any website that sells these ?  I'm looking for the cheap covering found underneath most games, not a fancy decorated one.  Happ used to carry something like this awhile back but no longer does.  Would save some frustration and time!  Thanks for any help or ideas.  Happy Turkey Day

a piece of black posterboard works pretty well, you can get one for about 50 cents at walmart

What type of monitor do you have?  If it's a tube I would just buy the standard plastic Happs bezel.  It will fit with little hassle and probably look better than making it yourself.  If you have a flat screen I'd just go with the $0.50 posterboard method and use a razor and straightedge for the cuts since they don't make a flatscreen bezel (that I'm aware of).
