How easy it is to install my 14" monitor with it's case off into a bartop cab? Has anyone else tried this? --- End quote --- I found these gigantic zip ties...They are actually called "Cable Ties" (Most industrial supply places have them...not Home Depot but like the heavy duty places...I found mine at a place called "Tacoma Screws" here in Seattle)...they are 36" long. I double the length by putting two together. Put the monitor where you want it, and mark and drill holes on the side of the monitor. The holes need to match up on each side...do two on each side. Then, you take your big ass zip tie and feed it through the holes and wrap it around the monitor and tighten them down....that thing won't go anywhere. The only way I can move the monitor after I do that is to cut the ties. It is very solid. I do that to secure the computer as well. |

Thanks, I think I'll do a bit more research on the subject :) |

Interesting concept on the zip ties, but don't you get annoyed with having zip tie loops outside your cab? Maybe take it a step further in design. Mount some hardware on the inside, out of sight, and loop the zip ties through the hardware. That way if you are taking the zip tie approach you don't have to see it from the outside. |

outside? There are no zip ties outside the cab. I build a monitor shelf and zip tie it to the shelf, and then trim the excess. You don't see anything on the outside |

Ah, yes, I misunderstood what you were trying to describe. What I saw in my head was cheesy. |
