I hear you :(
I haven't had a vacation in 18 months...took Fridays off in August and won't get my remaining 2 weeks until after my current work project is complete. /sigh
Now if we could only win a lottery and spend lazy days building our cabs...ah to dream!

But this is what +might+ turn into my version of a rotating monitor setup.
I've got a bead on some brass pulleys, grandfather clock wire, old motorcycle transmission gears, and, possibly, the worlds cheapest pseudo linear actuator.
With any luck, I'll end up with a wonderfully Rube Goldberg-ian contraption!

Oh, nice. That was my next guess, that would be amazing if you get it working!

I was hoping to make a copper iris for the monitor, but alas, I just can't fit the requisite parts in. No clearance.
I have put together a copper frame for the monitor though. Once I hone my soldering skills a little more, I should have that put together and mounted. That should go a long way toward "vintagifying" things. Having the DELL logo and a plastic-framed monitor sticking there is just harshing the vibe 8)

Yup! Does the Dell logo pop up when you turn on the monitor? I have a Dell LCD Tv and when you turn that on it takes 10 seconds to get to video, cause they insist on the Dell logo popping up first. It's rather annoying, but I'm used to it now. Then again I have a LCD monitor I got through Dell and it just turns on and goes right to video without a splash screen.... :dunno
drventure:
Oh, the splash screen doesn't bother me so much, I'm talking about the logo at the bottom of the monitor frame itself.
Now, if it said "Woolworth and Sons, patent 1865", that'd be ok :)
