The t molding is 3/4 cut down to 5/8 to fit the particle board which is 5/8 inch.   There is no 1 inch t molding on the cab.   The strip down the sides is 5/8.   Will look at the LG if I need a replacement but do not think it would fit in my $40 price range that my current monitor cost.

No the 1" filler piece on the CP sides... why did you cut into 2 pieces?

Oh that 1 inch.   I precut and notched the side pieces for the CP and they all turned out to be short that inch.   When the top is on the cab and no flash filling in the light then the fix is pretty well invisible.  Call me cheap  ;D

19 inch 4:3 LCD monitor mounted to bottom of cocktail cabinet top.    The kit came with a mounting board already cut for VESA mount but I mounted to the top as It meant less fiddling to get the mounting board in the exact position.  Since it was an LCD weight was not a consideration.
i like how you mounted the lcd !  :applaud: what is the name of the metal strip used to mount it ? thanks  :cheers:

It is called Galvanized Strapping and available at home reno stores in the HVAC or Plumbing areas.

Add a fender washer to make room between the side of the PSU and screw head for tightening/loosening the screw and threaded inserts for easy removal and replacement.   :cheers:

Just noticed it has not been 2 months yet.  Not bad considering the waiting time for some items to be delivered. Amp came from China, CPU, LCD and Speakers were local cabinet kit came from Toronto to Edmonton.

I tend to like clean cabs with very little in the way of graphics so once it is buttoned up and a top placed on it we will be 99% complete.  Any suggestions are welcome.
