Project A-kab = FINISHED!
BobbyG66:
The back of my cab is only covered above the back of my monitor.
I have handles built into this panel, so when I tip it back uit rolls on the back casters.
The rest of the back is open.
As long as it's against a wall, no one will see it.

Today my project made the transition to a three-dimensional structure.
Progress slow but steady.
Zobeid:
The monitor arrived yesterday, I worked on the frame today. I rough-cut the two circles with my jigsaw, then made a circle-cutting jig for my router and trimmed them.
The weather was drizzly all day, and while trimming one of the circles my goggles fogged up so I could barely see. I stopped and decided to step outside and clear the goggles. As I stepped out of the garage and pulled off the goggles, I glanced down and saw that I nearly stepped on a large snake.
Next job will be cutting an opening for the monitor into one of the wooden circles.

I'm curious how you're going to center the rectangle inside the circle now that it's cut out all ready. I had a rough time aligning my opening, and I marked mine when the wood was still an uncut square! Any hints on how you mark this once the circle is cut?

Not sure why this would be difficult? Just mark "crosshairs" through the center of the circle and use them to center the monitor, then trace its outline.
