My 1st Cocktail Finished! (100%... finally)
system01:
Thanks, guys!
I haven't compared the sticks to others. I really needed the 2/4/8-way switchability, and, since I heard no real gripes with them from others, I picked them up. I put the hard spring and tight circular restrictor in there and it feels right. Theres not much room for hands, so the small movements are nice. I do have a complaint that is shared with others, and thats that the dead-zone develops some slop after use -- actual play in the mechanicals at the pivot. Definitely not a show-stopper though.
The sub rattles only at uncomfortably loud levels. It was worse when I first put it in, then I noticed the grille was partially loose. Threw that away and its much better. I think the foam tape - between the sub and the base - is breaking down a bit under the constant heat and pressure. I may have to add more foam or tighten up the clamps.
Since putting the glass on, I think the LCD (and the cab) temp has gone up a bit. I haven't had any CPU overheats or anything, it just feels hotter at the vent out the back. I'll take a measurement and maybe look for a bigger fan.
I'll take some bracket pics tonight. They're nothing really special, but re-reading through my topic, I see I didn't really give any info.

So heres the bottom of the LCD, plus a crappy diagram of what's there.
On the top (Z) brackets, I used double-sided foam tape with only one side peeled. As you can see, the heat and weight are slowly squishing the foam out. This is quality tape, but I have a huge roll of 3M VHB waiting to replace it.
The bottom (flat) brackets I lucked out on with the thickness. I had not planned for the monitor to be 3/4" at the bottom, just dumb luck.

If I didn't live in a house the size of rabbit hutch I'd build a table. I really like yours. Job well done :cheers:
