Would you have room in the very front bottom? (In front of control panel).
If not how about on either side of the monitor.

All of my bartops have sound coming out of the bottom, and it sounds good.

I think I like yotsuyas idea of on the bottom, however an audio jack for headphones would be neat, but you need speakers, just headphones optional.

Usually #1. I did the Widowmaker in the #2 spot. You can see them in my signature.
