Wow looks great.. take your time and you will be happy with the end results. What are the benefits of a "slim" cab?

I don't have any suggestions as to what's best. A front or back-mounted piano hinge might be most stable for that size, but then the panel won't be removable to be taken to a work bench. For that, you either go with the standard "clamps" (which if are not mounted perfectly might end up with some "play" and vibration), or you can bolt with easily removable wing-nuts (but I find that one annoying, as it takes time to unscrew wing-nuts whenever you need to get in and fix something).
Keep in mind that clamps or wingnut solution assumes your design will have room for you to reach in with your arm.

I would say weight, lcd panels hardly weigh(sp?) anything, allowing to get away with out having to build a frame around a crt . Also not having a tube you dont have to build a deep cab ( both a size and weight saver)

Slow going the last few days :P
So a small ish update. Had to figure a way to mount and hide the lcd casing.

Used a rabbet bit (sp?) so the monitor could be held and hide some of the bezel. Dont laugh at my cuts its basically my first time using my router.
