In my best Steve Urkel voice, "Did I dooo that?"
So last month I picked up a i7 Processor, Motherboard, and memory from a co-worker that was updating his gaming computer for $100. Way too good of a deal to pass up, so I jumped on it. It was going to go into the pinball cabinet to replace the Duo Core processor.
Unfortunately, the case wouldn't work due to the differences in power supplies and such, so I ended up finding another case that was of the correct width. Unfortunately I didn't check the height and had a very tight fit getting the monitor cables for the back box monitor ran to the back of the computer. I needed about 1/4" of space to make it work, so adjusted my monitor brackets for the play field monitor.
Had wires routed, all worked well, then I moved the cabinet back into it's place against the wall. As I did so, the computer case, which is on drawer glides slid back, which also turns out was supporting the front half of the monitor. As the front half of the monitor moved downward, the back half was wedged between the back trim and support, doing a fulcrum type of movement, cracking the screen from the left corner out!
I did figure out a better way to mount the computer case, giving me about an inch of clearance, and moved the monitor mounts back where it won't bind again, but will now have to pickup a replacement monitor. Unfortunately it's a very specific size and have to buy the same monitor again to avoid further modifications to the cabinet, but have located one of the same model and will pick it up later today.
