Make sure you have good ventalation for the LCD becuase when they get confined they produce a lot of heat. Otherwise they project looks really neat, can't wait to see it done.

Here's an idea...may be totally out in left field though...

You know how you have a window in a car electrically operated? Something like that to make the monitor "rise" out of the case and then retract "into" it would be a very very neat mod. Food for thought...

I can't wait to see your plan in action!
You should call it "Project Icy Hot".

How do you do curved edges in sketchup???

Im pretty good with Sketchup but I CANNOT get decent durved edges!!

I read somewhere that you gotta use the "Follow Me" tool but there must be another way of doing it!

Make a square, doesn't matter what size. Draw a line from one corner to the opposite one.


Switch to the arch tool and click one of the other corners (not one with the line connected to it) and then the opposite.


Drag the arch along the line to where you want it and let go.


Delete the guide line and the two lines you don't need from the square.


All Done!

Aaaaah right sweet.... yeh ive managed to do what I wanted now!! Thanks for that...
EDIT: You dont need the guide line, if you leave it out its easier IMO.

Dont suppose you know an easy way to do tubing/pipes do you?

PS: Sorry this is all off topic!

If you could make the tray/keyboard/mousepad/mouse an integrated item that would be really nice. SO when you pull it out it's ready for instant use--maybe stealth the power switch in the tray--so the PC powers on from a microswitch when the tray is removed. You might want to put full extension type drawer glides on it so it can pull out from the niche and still be connected to the PC.

As far as the monitor I will look for the pic now.--it's a scissors type arm that offers extension and tilt. So yes it would pull a good way aways from the side of the case--about 6" or so.
