Wide T-molding question

I really appreciate your input Shardian, you guys with all the experience are like Nostradamus to my lack of hindsight. It's things like this I'd like to try and tackle before the sawdust flies!

The cabnet I'm working with is only about 20" wide so there isn't much room to work with here. The monitor is a 21" Viewsonic CRT SVGA computer monitor and I can tell you, it was quite a chore to get it stripped down enough to fit into this thing. The CP is limited to 36" width. (8" of wing on each side) And as if this wasn't enough to strangle the project, I wanted to put this together using existing parts and trying not to spend much on it. I can see your point when you say it should not be built based on that stipulation alone. But the funny thing about regret is, it's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you have not done. 

However, after checking the screen on the Turtles cabnet: http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=T&game_id=10052
(This is more of what I was shooting for)  I can see what you mean about the angle of the screen being an issue. In fact in one of the pictures on that page, you can see a well pronounced glare across the bottom of the screen. I was hoping the marquee part would shade it a little better.

I think I'd do well to try and raise it up a bit more. I just don't have a lot of room to work with unless I leave the thing hanging out the back of the cabnet. Think I'll explore Kelemvor's suggestion and try a shelf setup before cutting things up.

Thanks again for the input guys!

Why do you have a closet inside your Mame cabinet?  :D

The heat from the monitor drys the shirts.
