Monitor Bezel Suggestions
clhug:
Okay, here's my pics. There's no plexi on it so I didn't get any glare while taking the pics. Can't really see much. The white border inside the black bezel is the plastic case of the monitor showing through. I didn't go so far as to make a bezel that goes around the monitor case and touches the glass. I'm just trying to mimic the same idea as if you painted the back of the plexi but instead using black matte board. I have tinted plexi to put over it when it's all done so I'm hoping the white of the monitor case won't show through as much once it's done.
The last shot shows an edge on view of one of the inside edges of the matte board I cut out for the monitor so you can see how it is black all the way through instead of just a black surface with a white interior. Not sure it'll be easy to tell in the picture though.

Oh, the reason I went this route was twofold.
1. I thought it would be easier than painting the back of the plexi, which I think it probably was though I can't say for sure since I didn't attempt to paint the plexi, and with tinted plexi I don't think you'd be able to tell the difference.
2. This cabinet originally came with a dead 25" monitor that I pulled out and put a 21" computer monitor. I do hope someday to put a 25" or maybe even 27" monitor in this cabinet. If I painted the plexi I'd either have to replace the plexi, or carefully scrape paint off, when I got the larger monitor. This matte board method gives me the flexibility to change monitor size later if I want without having to replace the plexi.

clhug,
Thanks for the pictures... Looks nice! Im sure itll look really good with the plexi on top.
I think I might give this a shot first and or gunners design, and see what looks best... Both are cheap and if I dont like either one maybe Ill go for the painting...
Thanks...
