For your next project can I make a request? Can you tie one (or both!) hands behind you back to slow you down a bit please? Actually scrap that, keep 'em coming! :)

:laugh2: I think you've got me confused with leapinlew or someone else who churns out the projects like they were ikea kits.
I started these two 11 months ago, if thats too fast I'd hate to think what'd happen if I ever actually got any time away from work! :D
Franco B:
Heh, it just seems you finished this one so soon after the taxi cab. I didnt realise you started them at the same time. Thats what you get for putting the eye candy in the first post, it makes me skip the text and look at the goodness 8)
Well let me put it this way, you started and finished both projects in 11 months. I started my cocktail 11 months ago and im no where near finishing. Ok maybe your arn't super fast, maybe im super slow! :)

Bender,
The 'bezel' is made of 12mm (1/2") MDF, and there is 6mm (1/4") tinted glass sitting in a routed groove at the back. Behind that, the de-cased LCD is screwed into the bezel using All of the button wires, power cable and vga cable are bundled into a cable tube so that nothing catches and it looks nice and neat.
Whilst the weight of the monitor and the 30' angle keeps it in place, it is kept in place with a 4kg 'cabinet door magnet' on either side, effectively meaning you need you'd need to give it a really hard shove to dislodge it.
I'm actually right handed, but for the old classics like pacman/donkey kong etc that use 1 or no buttons, I actually like using the 4-way with my right hand. The Sanway 8-way is on the left hand side in the 'regular' position.
Bender:
Hey DM
I'm right handed too and like the lefty for the old school games
