Why are TVs all SILVER now? - How am I going to hide that?
Tailgunner:
The silver/black thing is cyclic in nature. Once the electronics mass producers switch to a given color, the bleeding edge companies switch to the other color to distinguish themselves in the market. The mass producers follow suit, but due to their lead times it takes awhile for them to switch as well. By the time they do, the the bleeding edge are gearing up to switch back and the cycle repeats itself.

Usually, the front is a structural support for the tube. If you remove it, you'll end up with the tube loose in your hand. At that point, you might as well trace around it on a piece of 3/4" whateverwood, cut a hole and paint the wood black before you bolt the tube onto it :)

If you don't put it back in the case you have to ground it yourself inside the cab, which not everyone has the skills to do properly. Doing it improperly makes the cab a health danger. Painting the case and replacing the case would at least allow you to put the original ground back on the tube and make it safe again.

I've been considering mounting a decased TV in my cab. What is the correct way to ground it? I guess this belongs in the Monitor forum, but maybe you can point me to the already existing thread in the Monitor forum that already explains this.
Maybe I could get off my lazy but and find it myself, but I digress...

check out the "make your own bezel for under $2.00" in the Main forum section does your TV have RGB inputs? you can make everyone believe you got an expensive 32" arcade monitor by going RGB instead of S-video
