Removing metal mounting braket from my monitor?
« on: March 25, 2006, 07:37:55 pm »
I have a 27" SVGA/VGA monitor that I wanna put in my arcade cab, but with the metal mounting bracket, it will not fit (and getting another cab to accomodate this monitor is NOT an option - The cabinet I do have now was just way to painful to get into my place!).

Is there any way to remove the metal mounting braket?

My monitor/mounting bracket looks just like this one:

You need to put the "img" tags around the picture locations.   Like this:

Code: [Select]
[img]http://www.mypicturesarehere.com/mypictures.jpg[/img]

Or, while you're composing your post, you can click the button with the icon that looks like a Landscape Painting, and it'll add the tags for you.   The button looks like:



Sorry I don't have any real help for your question though :)
