Galaga Bartop 19" LCD Rotating Display *UPDATED 11/26/12*

<< < (12/19) > >>

The t-molding is just standard t-molding, my saw blade is 3/32 not 1/8, which helps.

There was a picture of another bartop that used t-molding, sorry no link, but it looks like the marquee is set back. It looks really nice, it's orange (i think again) and ties it all in.

Ritalin:
Here are some final mockups before I make a final decision on the monitor position and angle.
Does this look ok?

After adding the marquee shelf, I realized if I pushy the LCD too far back, or tilt it too far back, it will be hard to see. But if it's too close, the large 19" LCD is too big for a bartop. So I took out the riser completely and positioned the LCD about halfway toward the front. The tilt of the display is the max allowable for the existing stand and it's actually just right. The last pic (with the side panel removed) should give a good idea of the tilt/positioning.

Just wondering in this will look ok as the LCD position. Thoughts welcome, thanks.

sorry Ritalin... but, the monitor is just too big to rotate. You don't have to believe me. Build the CP and after the CP and marquee box are installed, you will know if you have the viewing angle or not.

good luck!

I think it will be very tight, - The CP will probably need more clearance than you are allowing, and the Marquee will have to be unnaturally narrow. Leapinlew might be right-- that monitor might just be too big for the size cabinet you are contemplating.  I think you could overcome these difficulties by adding another 3-4 inches to the height...
but as that mockup stands, it appears its going to be pretty tight in there.

leapinlew:
Perhaps a 17" LCD would work, but at this point - I would build the CP and Marquee box and see what kind of space you have left. For my CP - I mounted 2 pieces of plywood at 90 degree's and then I took a roundover bit to it.
