DaOld Man:
Thanks drawful!
Hello Reko.
Those black/red twisted wires are for a speaker.
They go through the monitor chassis down to a circuit board on the inside, lower right corner. Im pretty sure the board is an amplifier for the speaker.
I wont be needing this function, so I unplugged the circuit board and removed it.
I cut the red/black wires from the plug and pulled them out of the chassis.
There is a small board on the side of the monitor with some small push button switches on it.
One of these switches is the power button.
I dont remember which one. I suggest you plug it up and experiment.
I need my monitor to stay turned on all the time, since I want it to come on and off with the computer. But I suppose you could solder a couple of wires to the monitor's on/off switch and use an external button to power it up. The board with the buttons is removable, I thought about taking mine off, but I figured I may need to adjust it later.
And Im not sure if the monitor would come on or not with this board removed.
Also, yes, I figured I will need about a 1/8" gap between the acrylic on the front and the monitor screen.
Im planning on using some foam stick on insulation stuff around the edge of the acrylic hole to fill the gap. (I think this is what Mountain used on his.)

Thanks for the reply. Just as an FYI, the manual for the monitor is available here:
http://media.elotouch.com/pdfs/manuals/008521_f.pdf
Go to download section for drivers.
I did notice that you don't have a small board at the bottom corner of the monitor, assuming it is an amplifier I'll be removing it as well.
Keep us posted with your progress. Regards.

Thanks for the link Reko!
Ok, here are some measurements for the front and back panels.
Edited to include mm measures.
Please double check your measurements before cutting anything. I used a conversion chart off the net to enter these values and I cant guarantee its accuracy.

Edit: Added juke bottom. AS BUILT:
Martijn:
and now one in the metric system ;D

Ask and ye shall receive.
Check out the pictures again.
Be sure to read the warning.
I got the converts here:

But I cant guarantee its accuracy.
