Installing a Samsung SyncMaster 955 DF
« on: July 10, 2006, 12:00:06 am »
I think I ended my monitor hunt, I found a bargain on ebay and splurged:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300002193148&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1

I just wanted some advice before I started trying to instal it, anyone try it before?
The dementions are on the ebay listing if you scroll down a bit, but I swear.. its gotta be bigger than that.  Really, reallllly heavy. My car had trouble going up hills with it and my friend in the car. Granted I drive a pos, but still, its ---fracking--- heavy.

ohhhh you know what I neglected to say? Its a cocktail cabinet. And I cut it from plywood following "Kyles plans." Which worked well cept now I dont really have any kind of instruction at all for mounting a monitor in it. I dont know anything about removing cases about how I should build the supports or anything... thats what I was asking

yeah you forgot to mention that,i saw a cocktail cab in the u.k where they had secured the whole pc monitor to a wood panel and made some slots to home it into the cab,otherwise you will have to decase the monitor and make tube anchoring brackets and something for the chassis to fit safely onto-if you're gonna do the latter then be very careful not to knock the neck or you will have wasted alot of time and money :cry:
