Basic Monitoring Service

The main thing I did today was attach the monitor base. This is where the TV will sit, and since TVs aren't the lightest things in the world, it needs to be nice and strong. Fortunately the Ultimate Arcade plans provide a very solid support for the monitor base, so I'm not worried about it at all. I'm quite confident that I could sit on it with no problems.

So, first of all I attached two studs underneath where the monitor base will go, for support:




Then, I screwed the monitor base onto the studs:


There was a lot of screws involved with that, and now my arms are quite tired :) Earlier I also attached a piece of the framing, which will surround the outside of the TV (when finished) and provide something to screw a perspex covering onto. This can be seen just above the control panel.
