Interesting idea. I wish I had a monitor that size to play with

You ought to grab a copy of Sketch up and model up something. It really helps to firm up the proportions and being able to view the idea from all sides helps in making sure the design will all "fit".
Looking forward to more pics.
One question. With it that thin, where will the CPU, ps, etc go?
Personally, I think what could be interesting in a plan like this is to construct something that would appear as it it couldn't even +have+ any internals, maybe use an atom board and mount it actually in the CP itself, so that there's very little of a cab at all.
