Hello everyone.
After 1 year living with a 25 inch TV and using RCA jacks (the only way to connect from PC to this TV) in my MAME cab (an old MK2 cabinet), I finally said ENOUGH!! Picture was distorted, blurry, and slightly tilted. Bottom line, i was fed up.
Long story short (too late) , I bought a 27 inch SHARP TV for $50 with an S-Video port. Tested it and works great and picture is ALOT clearer. Obviously the case was too big for the cabinet so I had to cut the sides with a dremel saw (I'll post pictures up when I get home). The TV is big and I was able to finally fit it in but it didnt look right.
I want to take it out of the case, put some brackets in the cabinet, mount the guts onto plywood and attach it to the brackets.
Questions:
1. Do I have to Discharge the TV to do this? (very good video on discharging:

2. Does anyone have any tips on doing this type of project? (gutting a TV and putting it on a plywood slab and attaching it to the brackets)
3. Can I put the circuit boards directly on plywood or should I use some type if insulator between the circuit board and plywood?
Thanks everyone for their input.
