Bezel suggestions for a 15inch monitor?

[bsoder52]

I'm making plans for a cocktail cab and will be using a 15inch pc monitor. 

Any suggestions for a good looking bezel?

do you mean monitor bezel or the glass underlay?

you could make a bezel quite easilly from cardboard (see the one i made for my centipede cab)

i simply copied an original (beatup) bezel that i had

but see following post that details how to make one from scratch

Wow@!
That doesn't look hand made!
How did you get it so perfect?

i traced the 2 parts of this one out on thick cardboard and kept a steady hand on the blade when cutting it out. then just a matter of putting creases in right place and gluing two parts together.

it actually a pretty clever design by atari.

i am also going to have a go at making a regular bezel in similar way for my 21" monitor in my cocktail cab.

notice that the centipede one accounts for the vertical monitor being mounted in the cab at an angle.
