My simpit part ???

Here is my latest progress:
     Image

Basically not much is different, I got the displays mounted and finished making up the bezels that will go over the monitors. Later today Ill clean up thew bezels a bit more and throw a nice coat of paint on them.

The bezels are not in place yet so they may look a bit crooked, after the paint is set Ill secure them to mounts I put together out of pine :D

Here is the semi-finished bezel project.  Just a note, Rustoleum has a nice color spray paint called stainless steel.

Hey Doug,

 Yeah for now Im sticking with the 2 monitors for the FS view they are 22" LCD panels.

 Eventually, a loooooong time down the road those two monitors may become the side views ;)
