Isn't 75% of 19" less smaller than 15" ?

yeah... my math skills aren't what they used to be.  ;)

Something looked "off" when I scaled down the size of the monitor during the design phase.  I'm not sure why since the ratio was the same all the way around.  Because of this, I decided to scale down everything except for the size of the monitor.  Now I have a min cab with a monitor that looks pretty big comparatively and since bigger = better, I win!    :cheers:
