sizerkozak,

First of all absolutely wonderful job. I would really be interested in a DIY guide for this project also. Do you still think you might write one once you have the time?

Nice mod, first class

sizerkozak,

yup i plan on doing just that...first i have to find away to get these Led's mounted...there a little biger than i had planned on using...but im sure ill find a way soon.

The question is... to the rest of us who have TH2G...

do we have the money/guts/balls to rip our screens apart and do this fantastic mod?

errrm..... no from me :shock:

I've just done a bit of an experiment myself... You spurred me into cannibalizing my 8" lcd that I no longer use and it's now on its way into being mounted into the front of my machine... was a hell of a lot easier than I expected! I'll post a few pics upon completion

Good stuff...i just pulled apart a 6" lcd...im going to try to munt it to the front side of my pc as well..lol

great minds think alike !!

Guys,,,,there is no way of getting around the "bezel" even without the bezel there is still 1/4" of dead space at the edge...the bezel is required to keep the acrylic sheets and plastics together and to hold the tube and wire that runs along two sides.

i tried everything i could...i even trashed a brand new 19"lcd in the process

Although I have Zero experience in it, I'm told that harended transperent rubber can replace the metal.

unfortunitly it would then make the distance between the arylic and the actuall monitor to great

with the metal bezel in tack the two are still very close together

The hardened rubber apperently is less than 4mm think. to hold both screens together. I.E one piece in the middle, instead of two.

Woo! I got a dremel yesterday... was getting bored of waiting for architecture students to smuggle me into the workshop so I thought I'd get on building a bezel for my drive bay mounted screen at home. I find it hard to believe how much the matrix orbital screens cost when for less you can get a decent sized lcd tv and rip it into pieces! With a bit of luck it'll turn out looking vaguely awesome...

As for removing the metal bezels after you've taken the plastic cases off of a screen - I'd be way too scared to do it, but check out the radius 320 screens - http://www.seamlessdisplay.com/products_radius320.htm - no bezel there! These things were developed by students at oxford, maybe you could ask them for tips?
