Sorry about the delay in response. I have been out of town for a few days.

No, the monitor does not stick out in the back. The back door fully closes. However, I did need to remove the brace from the back and mount the main board to the bottom where the monitor sits. I did this once the monitor was installed. I'll post some pics if you need me to, but you'll have to wait until I get back home on Weds...

Let me know if you have any other questions.

No, once the entire back brace was removed and the main board was secured to the wood just below the monitor. It's close, but the neck of the monitor just misses it!

Deefish:
Lakersfan, Yes I would like to see pictures of that. Do you think with removing the back brace/frame that it would weaken the overall mounting of the tube?

I think I may want to just cut the door and build a bulge in it to cover the back. Maybe get an old plastic TV casing and attach it to the hole in the back door to schroud it. Although I would love if it just fit all compact and nice in there, but that doesnt look to be happening. I guess I could scrap the Bezel and move the whole monitor a full 2 inches closer to the front, and that would make the back door close, I just really like the bezel clean look.

I guess you could alway use smoked glass instead of clear + a bezel.   This is making me reconsider building a TMNT cab :D  I either need to modify the plans or just build a MK style cab...

Ok, here are some pics. The Betson monitor has a back support brace that goes from the top brace, around the back of the monitor, attaching to the bottom brace. On the brace itself, the system board is attached to it. I removed that back brace that was holding nothing but the system board. It is a big stabilizer, but once the monitor was in I could easily uninstall the brace without harm to the monitor since it was now fully secured. I then attached the system board to the wood where the old monitor used to sit. Hope these pics make sense of what i am saying....

The back door now fully closes. It does not touch any part of the monitor. It really close, though. Also, as you can see on the last pic, the back door has a little bit of an indented area that was already there (not sure if yours has the same thing). The indention is there, but the neck of the monitor does not use it. I'll be happy to answer any other questions!
