All I can ever find locally is SDTV. I have a 32" Sony 4:3 HDTV and I can tell you PC looks amazing on it with component cables... but that TV is a monster :)

Progress is being made, just nothing significant. Hopefully by next week I will start the wiring.
I've got my marquee light installed and temporarily working, I need to mount it to the cab still and fix some light leaking issues. I'm using two novamatrix lights from ggg.
These shots are just to give an idea of what the marquee will look like (brightness wise), the marquee in the pics is just some poster of similar material I got from work.
The light isn't as bright as the pics make it out to be, overall I'm happy with the brightness.

Coming along very nicely. I really like the monitor mounting piece you made for your TV. I just acquired a 27" Flat screen CRT TV and will need to de-case it for my build. I may try to do something similar to yours. Very well done. Do you have any pictures that show how it is installed inside the cabinet? You have some showing the mount, but then it just magically appears in the cabinet. I am curious as to how it is secured in there.

I didn't bother taking pics of them because it was so simple!
All I did was glue some mdf blocks to the side of the cabinet and clamp it (the clamping was actually the hardest part). If your cab isn't made of mdf then you will want to secure the blocks with more than glue.
