Hey guys,
I know there are lots of different options to mount a 19" PC monitor in a cabinet, but I was curios if any of you have pictures of how you have done this. I have an old Top Gunner cabinet and I'd like to mount a 19" PC monitor in it. The monitor will sit at a 45 degree angle. I'm just looking for different examples of ways to do this to get a good idea of which would work best for me. Is there a way to secure the shelf to the cabinet without putting bolts from the outside of the cab? Any examples or thoughts would be great. Thanks as always :)

I would say countersunk screws combined with glue on 1x1's

Top Gunner was a conversion-only game, but just wondering if you have my old one.
Is it in a Pac-Man shaped cabinet with stained wood and NOS looking sideart?

Hey Paigeoliver,
Don't think that I have your old one. The cabinet is plywood, but was painted with a burnt orange paint, Only about 3/4 of the sideart remained (looked like part of it had been peeled off the cabinet). And there were quite a few holes in the side of it...I bought the cabinet from an arcade dealer in Tucson although from the looks of the tokens that I found in it, it used to be in Pistol Pete's pizza (a pizza parlor that used to be here in Tucson), it also had no control panel or back door.

Ok, not my old one then.
When I put a PC monitor in a Pac cab a long time ago I just built a monitor box at the correct angle and set the monitor into it.
