You can buy a 1/4 sheet of plywood at Home Depot for like $4. That is what I did for the monitor board.

Picked up a scrap 3x4 chunk of OSB from a friend. Should work out nicely. If only there were more hours in a day.

Another question...

Can the wires connecting to the neck board and the red one with the "suction cup" be lengthened (cut wires, add some length and solder) to accommodate a better mounting position, ie farther away from the tube on a separate board? There really isn't anything to support the power/input panel of the monitor once it's de-cased and I thought relocating these components would be a good solution.

I'm thinking of making a wooden panel with all the PC components and the monitor components attached. Are there better ways to accomplish what I'm describing?

shardian:
Common sense is screaming that you really shouldn't do that with a neck board. I've never heard of anyone doing it, and odds are its not safe at the least. Post a new thread in the monitor forums and ask that. Extremely knowledgeable guys like Ken Layton will acknowledge you.

FrizzleFried:
I would be much less worried about lengthening the neckboard wires and MUCH more worried about lengthening the anode wire.  There are tens of thousands of volts traveling that wire.
