It looks solid. Is there a carrying handle on the back?

[Yamiyo]

Yea its a tank, no carrying handle yet, something i really didn't think of when i started the project. I used a 19 inch monitor so the case had to be pretty big to accommodate the screen. The total unit is 17X13X4, so its a decent size. I also mounted the power brick on the inside so i would only have the cord to plug into the wall to carry around! All in all i think it turned out pretty decent!

Well;
with the handle on the back the screen would hang closed. []\

The screen support itself?

[Yamiyo]

It does support itself, homemade hinge! But a handle would be ideal for it, most of the weight is the screen and its a little awkward to carry! I was going to move some of the components around but I started off with the ROL and for some reason the first box I used would only power on for a second then turn off and the power brick would blink green then stay yellow! So I decided to use my personal box and not really move to much and see how it turned out! If I could figure that one out I would have another one to tinker with and maybe be able to go a little smaller? I'll upload some more pics tonight! Thanks for the comments!
