Any examples of BYOAC projects that forego the bezel to save width?

So basically just enough bezel to cover the bit of metal around the edges of the screen?  I am quickly realizing that I will likely find my answer once I decase this beast and see what is under the plastic.

You can even paint a bezel mask on the glass or a separate piece of plexi/lexan to conceal the frame and whatnot if necessary. 

You can see if the tinted glass hides everything and then always add something later if you find yourself noticing the empty space.

I'm typically anti bezel.  I like cutting Lexan/Plexi and then mapping out the screen, covering it with painters tape and then spray painting the outsides black.  Works as a pseudo bezel without the hassle.  the biggest thing the bezel provides is to hide all the stuff except the screen.  Makes it look nicer.
