Mounting a (decased) TV?
mccoy178:
Decasing is not that big of a deal. If you want it to be, in can, but in reality, it is not. In my cabinet, I made a place for my custom made monitor brackets to sit in out of 3/4" mdf and attached them to the sides of my cabinet. I then used about $30 worth of metal from the little metal area Lowe's has to make the following contraption on my monitor. It was rather simple and it works incredibly well. I can literally pluck the monitor out whenever I like and it is very sturdy. I think these guys are trying to talk you out of it because they are being negative nancies. :applaud:
Here is a link to the bracket part of my thread:

You are an exception McCoy. You fabricate stuff at a quality level most of us can only dream of.
If the guy wants to decase and come up with a custom solution for mounting the tube and chassis. have at it. I'm just trying to say that if it really is not necessary, then don't do it. I've decassed 2 pc monitors in cabs in which I had no choice. I made for damn sure it didn't fit in the case first though. ;)

all i did with my tv , after it was decased i kept the plastic bottom of tv that board fitted into.
i got a piece of hardwood. and put screen face down drew around it and cut it out
then the tv slid in no prob, i used the chassis eyes and screwed it through the wood and bolted it on.
in cabinet i used some L brackets to take to take weight of tv and bolted it to there.
the pcb board i attached to a piece of mdf and attached it just below the tv.
and it works great and fully attached .

I was thinking the exact same thing looking at mccoy's post - he is insanely good.
Ummon:
Anyone who has room for a table saw (and who knows what else), as well as room enough to rip 4x8 sheets down easily, likely knows a thing or two about building. Then it's a matter of patience and consistency, though enthusiasm is a big help, too.
