Does anyone have any experience building a frame for a monitor? I've got a cabinet without a monitor in it and need to mount something. I'm thinking a big VGA or a TV with the case removed.

it should already have some brackets in there to mount a tube.... have a looksie!
if not...the easy way would be to leave the case, and build a shelf in there to set the TV on.

Here is what I did.
Here is my TV mounted
The brackets were kinda offset next to the tube so I had to make extensions for the bracket. You may need to add a 2x4 to the top and bottom and use wood screws so that you can mount the TV down to something. I used 3/4" 5-ply plywood.
And then I put a shelf in there to hold the boards
Then I put the bezel on it and the Plexi and viola...
Works Great!
