BobA:
Not sure the overall support you are going to have but some of those strips of wood look a little thin for the weight and torque of a 25 inch monitor. This is just a gut feeling from the pictures viewed.
abzman2000:
that's what I was thinking, what is the conventional way to mount these sorts of monitors?
javeryh:
Run a 2x4 or strip of plywood from underneath the v-shaped pieces you made to the base of the cabinet. They will act like columns and distribute the load. I think that will work.
TOK:
That looks kinda weak. I built a shelf... 1/2" ply with the bottom boxed using wood the size of your mounts. I built that to hold the weight and the top mount is just a small piece for position similar to what you're using.
The whole chassis rests on the shelf.
I was in a hurry to get it done the other day, so I didn't take pics as I was going, sorry.
