Control Panel 'Holder'/'Stand'
Pinguy:
Neat idea,
What have you used for the monitor - I am looking for a slimline option. Is that a widescreen monitor?
cheers Buzz

In my picture its a 32" LCD TV. It also rotates on its mount to make fricken huge vertical games. But usually I am too lazy and just leave it horizontal, its pretty big as is, even when playing vertical games.
I was going to go with a 26" screen, but as it was also going to be the TV for the spare bedroom, the wife convinced me to go bigger.

Massive88, thanks for that post. That gives me a few ideas - not the least of which is having the cab upstairs instead of in the basement...wasn't even something I'd considered.
My setup I was thinking of attempting is a bit weird. I was going to make a setup that connected to my HTPC and could me moved out of the way or into another room when not in use, so it could, technically, be even less then what you have made.
I need to think about this more and see what I can mock up I guess...

Make one using an ipac, then bring it in and just plug in a single cable. Sounds easy enough.

At one point I was also thinking of making a more modular stand, which might work for you if you are hooking it up to a PC that is always going to be out.
I was thinking of two stackable boxes on casters or sliders, that when stacked together would form the stand for the CP, but when unstacked, would have a coushined top to put on them for footrests to be used in the game room. They would also have a solid panel bottom, as we are low on storage as well as space (they usually go hand in hand though right?). Lift up the top, thrown in a blanket, wireless controller, whatever you want to store.
So then, the CP could be in a closet, and when you want to play, you stack up the ottomans and slap on the CP, ready to go.
