Fabricating a monitor mount
« on: May 14, 2008, 01:33:51 pm »
I got nice 21" NEC presentation monitor from a friend, and I'd like to use it on one of my cabs. The game originally came with a 19" monitor, and the 21 won't fit with the case on. I decased it, but the bezel was used as a tube support.

I know some guys have fabricated monitor supports out of wood and metal. I vaguely remember someone making a nice one out of angled steel that was bolted together. I did a seach but I'm not coming up with much. Just like to get some ideas before I commit to a design.

One example I'm thinking of was a guy making a bartop for his baby son. Used to be on the Wiki, but that part of the site appears to have been revamped and, sadly, the link is gone. I think I bookmarked it at home, I'll have to see if I can find it.

The one with the metal frame was the one I was looking for (I posted in the thread, and didn't even remember). I like your setup a lot since your monitor is similar to mine. Thanks.
