I haven't had anything new to report until today, I've been trying to decide how to mount everything and decided upon Plexi as the easiest medium . . . and see through to boot! [;)] ]'> So I've been scribing/snapping, sawing and filing my way toward a protoype MacQuariumChassis. I MEK'd my first positing piece on this morning and figured it was time for a progress report!

Voila! I'm happy with it so far. :approve:

The sides and snug up to the mounting guides for the shell in the front and butt up to the back almost perfectly, while the base plate in between positions them flush with the inside surfaces of the shell. With the shell in place, everything fits as snug as a bug in a rug! [:D] ]'>

If you look closely you can see where the monitor/bezel interface has been scraped to match the surface of my MIA 10" SVGA CRT. Many of the plastic positioning guides and mounting pads have been trimmed back/lopped off. While my 9" Compact Portable II CRT might be a perfect fit to the bezel, I'm not sure how a Standard Classic CRT would fit any more. =8-/
That was what started this whole mess . . . :scrambled:
