Have you done this part yet? I am very interested in doing the same thing with an old IBM Trintron 20" monitor. I could also use some help. After you removed the plastic cover from the back, could you tell me the depth from the front of the screen to the rear as well as the height at the rear?
USSEnterprise:
It was about one inch less than if the plastic was on. When I tried to take off the shielding, the circuit boards started falling off. I can't really take off the shielding. At this point, an LCD is looking really good, especially with the possibility that with the age and usage of this monitorI'm afraid I will go through hours of work mounting the damn thing and then the tube burning out.
Level42:
Well, the tube burning out is not very likely to ever happen. Other components are much more likely to fail before that :)
Personaly I think Classic Gaming on a LCD is like putting the latest set of "pimp my ride" wheels on an oldtimer....
But I already think PC CRT's don't give the right feeling, but that's all my opinion.

I'm using a 21" HP monitor in my cab.
Made a metal frame out of angled bar that the monitor sits in while still fully cased.
There is a pic of it screwed to the sides of the cabinet here:

When the monitor is on the frame, it is sitting at 20degrees.
Could take some more pics of it if you wanted.
