Hi,
First post,
Iam currently working on my first build, and I want to have my control panel raise up by about an inch when turned on. Does anyone have experience of such a thing ??
Regards
Chance

Why not build it an inch higher? Just curious. :P

purely aesthetic reasons, I just like the idea of pressing a button and everything moves into place. The Monitor is going to be folded down and raise (know how to do that part) and I want my controls to rise up to take the space that the monitor was accommodating.

Pretty expensive thing just for slight asthetics.
It could be accomplished using the motion of the monitor being raised.
How do you plan to raise the monitor?

Piston hinges from a kitchen cabinet ,believe it will be strong enough. Be held under tension and simple switch to release so it rises
