      I put this together for my sister in law for christmas. i’m using a 22" monitor in a wood box i made with my dad. i ordered the glass from a local store, the dimensions on the mirror is 14x24". I have to say i cant believe how nice this turned out, i almost want to keep it for myself, but i think i’ll probably just make a second version down the road.

      I added a back to the mirror and drilled some holes for ventilation, but i may either take it off or drill a few more since i’m getting the temperature indicator on the screen.

        Nice job. Looks great!

        IMHO, no need for a back at all. You can also drill ventilation holes in the the sides and the top and bottom. You will see a significant improvement in temp. And don’t rule out heatsinks or a fan. Both are inexpensive and you’ll never worry about heat again. When you see results like this you’ll sleep better. :-)
