    @Mitchfarino Heh. Well, that pic was just for holding the monitor in place. I used a french cleat to mount the mirror on the wall. One piece screws into the wall, the other screws into the edge of the box. You can make one fairly simply or just buy one from a hardware store.

      @bhepler And it’s strong enough to hold it up?

      I think that might be the route I’m gonna take to hang mine

      Any chance of a pic of the back of yours?

            @Mitchfarino Oh yeah. The cheap-ish french cleat I bought from Home Depot claims to be rated for 100 lbs. If you mount it on a wall stud, you’ll have no problems whatsoever.

              @bhepler it’s a dot and dab wall, so I need to go through to the brick (UK)
