Hello. I hope that some of you guys can help me out. I swear I did a forum search for monitor mounting, but maybe the search function is a little iffy because nothing came up...
I'd like to know how to mount a television in my cab. The tech (http://home.austin.rr.com/shumate/unicade/cabinet.htm)niques (http://www.mamenation.com/cabinet1.htm) I've seen (which use arcade monitors) involve using angle irons on the top and bottom of the front face of the CRT. Is that safe with a TV? With arcade monitors, I presume there's some kind of bracket for bolts. But, with a TV, it's probably a different story, right? Can someone point me in the right direction, maybe with a good example page? Thanks for your time.

Most TVs sit in shelves in the cabinet. Not many people use angle iron to mount TVs.

Yes, I understand, but I'd still like to do it this way.

I guess I misunderstood. The only time I have seen TVs mounted the way you want, they were de-cased. I think I recall a few treads about it.

I always use old cabs... when using an old cab there was/is an old mounting in the cab. in my mspacman i just decased the pc monitor and reounted it in the mspacman brackets..
in my virtua fighter i took the 25" tv out of its case and mounted it in the original arcade monitor brackets and bamm. done.. in moset cases I always take the monitor of choise out of its case and then mount. but if building from scratch i'd say whatever you think fits well and or looks good :)
