Arcade

I was able to get the monitor mounted last night.  I bought some aluminum angle and used it to attach to the monitor to the cabinet.  I may need to modify it to bring the screen closer to the glass of the cabinet.  I put all of the equipment inside and fired it up to see what it would look like when complete.  It looked and worked just fine.

Arcade

More progress on the Arcade box...  I've purchased a 19" LCD monitor off Craigslist (of course) to use as the display for the Arcade.  At this point, I have it in the basement and most of the insides out.  I plan on getting the monitor mounted tonight.  My goal is to have it up and running by this Friday for my son's birthday party.



The PC will sit nicely in the cabinet and be accessible from the front by opening the maintenance door. 


The monitor I purchased will fit nicely using two pieces of angle iron across the display opening.


Here's the monitor with all of the plastic off ready for mounting.  I'll use the four mounting screws to fasten it to the angle iron and then to the cabinet.

With a little thin weather stripping, the black bezel will press up against the glass of the cabinet.
