The edges are damn ugly (10 points if you can cut THAT STUFF nice), and the looks of the structure of the paper part is no pick nick either. Using foamboard is soliciting for a page on CrapMame. Spray-paint the glass, and make a frame between the glass and the screen of ABS plastic or so. You can glue ABS easily and use filler to make it perfect if needed. Spray paint the frame in black too. If you make the frame a little larger than the hole in the paint on the glass, making it fit perfect is not even needed. It's just there to prevent looking into the box like you can do on FrizzleFrieds cab. |

Depending on how close your monitor is to the acrylic/perspex/plexi, you could cut a suitable wooden bezel and shape the edges of the hole you cut for a better finish. We've done this on many cabinets and it looks great. If you want it to fit the curves of your monitor and hide the monitor surround better, you can route out the back of it a bit to push it onto the screen, then sand theedges of the hole to the contour of your screen. Here is a picture ofone of ours with a wooden bezel: |
