A quick hello and a few questions regarding a bartop machine!
quick2shoot:
You really don't save much space removing the monitor case, and it exposes some pretty dangerous bits inside. The main reason for removing the case is to dissipate heat a little better, or to use the monitors front section of case to mount it in the cab using the original screw holes, IF you do decide to remove the case BE CAREFUL! you can give yourself one hell of a nasty shock if you don't discharge the capacitors, i think there are directions for discharging the caps somewhere in this sea of helpful knowledge.
Good luck with your project, and when its "finished" ;D post pictures in the project announcement section

Ah, yes, I misunderstood what you were trying to describe. What I saw in my head was cheesy.

Yeah....that would look pretty bad. Then I could sell it on Ebay!
Zip ties are great. I became a wiz with zip ties from my years as a mechanic.

I use them for quite a bit too. I did learn the hard way not to use them to keep your broken exhaust pipe off the ground on the way to the mechanic... they melted and it dropped anyway. :laugh2:

Well I took the case off the 14" monitor to measure the depth and it's only half an inch less than with the case on! My next step is to order the controls (Sanwa joystick?) and get an ATX PSU.

I always decase. Easier to mount imo. Also, if your doing a bartop... any space gained from decasing is going to be helpful.. especially if you want to keep it small and compact.
