I am in the process of creating my cabinet but I have gone for a side by side design. Rather than mounting the monitor over the PC electronics I have moved the electronics to one side and centered the screen so that I get a unit that is the height of the inverted monitor . Steve

I guess you could run a 1 x 1" timber around the inside of the cabinet but this looks a lot tidier.

I'm probably overly paranoid about this. That's why the cocktail I'm building now will just have the PC monitor supported by some cross-beams to hold it in place. The monitor won't be bolted in and can be removed for service or transportation. The electronics are going to be accessible through a pull-out drawer in the bottom.

Spacies,


how did you make the area between the monitor and wood look? At least with an upright you can use a bezel

In the pic with the top flipped open you can barely see that he has a bezel in there.
