AlanS17:
Regarding mounting, I noticed these things don't come with any rails. There are still a couple of alternatives, though. First, make some rails out of angle iron. Second, build a shelf. I don't know about these monitors, but my ELO has holes across the bottom to lock it into place on a shelf as well as railings on the sides to lock it into place.

Second, it's a lot easier to mount the monitor onto a board and then mount the board into the machine. This gives you something to hold onto and you can screw the board down directly instead of trying to hold a monitoe in mid air and line it up. You just need to make sure the board fills up the full interior space where the monitor will go so it will catch the side railings of the machine. Maybe this is what everybody does anyways, but just in case... it's a good diea.

By the way, I'm not finding this deal on shipping that everybody is talking about. It's only quoting me full-priced shipping (and even mentions it in the item description).

This thing's a monster.  I don't think you could fit it in a standard-sized cocktail cabinet.  You wouldn't have enough ventilation around it.

As for the price, it was $50 + $70 shipping, then it went to $59 + $70 shipping.  Now it's $109 + $2.99 shipping.  You won't see the reduction in shipping costs until the final screen before placing the order.  If you go to their homepage though, it says the $2.99 shipping is applied to this monitor.

oldskoolcade:
what truly sucks is the fact that the 2.99 only applies to shipping within the U.S..

I put it in a cart to see how much shipping would be to Ontario, and it was something like $315....

Cripes...it's only about an hour and a half away from Buffaloto my place...not like it'd take that much more to get to me  :-)

oh well...looks like it's back to the 25" TV idea...

Well, I plugged my monitor in today to show my neighbor what was going on with it (He

If you remove the metal case it MIGHT fit, measure carefully.  Mine fit into my upright cab, in the same wooden frame used for the 19" monitor AFTER I removed the metal case and cut 1" from the top horizontal area of the wooden frame.  I simply used the metal front frame of the monitor to attach it to the frame.  Be aware that the tube length will add some to the depth of the monitor area, mine sticks out of the cabinet about 1/2".

Witchboard I don't have any suggestions other than try to find a repair shop in your area that will treat you right, I still have gotten NO response to the e-mail I sent when I thought I had a lemon.  Again for that reason alone I would not recommend buying from these folks to anyone else.  Its too big of a gamble because of the support/return shipping issues IMO.  Best of luck all and thanks again for your help.  ARCADIAC!
