Any ideas on installing a fully cased PC Monitor in a Cocktail Cabinet?

Decasing the monitor allows the heat to escape so that a properly placed fan in your cocktail can cool it.

Do you have an pics of a monitor partially decased mounted in a cocktail cabinet?
Also, the arcade monitor and bracket were removed long before I bought the cabinet, so I don't have anything left in the cabinet that I can salvage as far as mounting the monitor.

Forgive my ignorance and I'm not totally sure about this, however, I do know that CRT tubes without recalibration go 'batshit crazy' when turned 90 degress sideways, as they calibrated with certian expectations of the earth's EM field in your region. Isn't this likey to happen to a monitor turned 90 degrees onto it's back side too?
BobA:
A typical monitor will have a metal inside casing that will probably have some edges that you can use to mount the monitor on a couple of well secured pieces of wood. You can also support the monitor on the bottom with a shelf mounted att the right height. Picture of a typical monitor decased.

there fine.
you might have to degaussed it but most monitors have a switch to do it or it degaussed on start up

Yeah, when I was setting up the PC for my MAME cab, I turned the monitor vertically to play a few games the way they're supposed to be, and a quick hit on the degaussing button fixed any color distortion.
