My build:</p>
<p dir="auto">Raspberry Pi 3B<br />
Older Dell monitor that I had in storage<br />
Ikea Edsbruk 19 ¾x27 ½ frame</p>
<p dir="auto">I built a support frame using 1x2inch boards and attached that to the back of the Ikea frame with 1 inch corner brackets</p>
<p dir="auto">I initially tried to use mirror film on the Ikea plexiglass but that was a giant fail so I ended up buying a two way mirror plexiglass sheet from Canal Plastics in NYC.</p>
<p dir="auto">Initial programming<br />

<p dir="auto">Frame-- I cleaned up the wiring with some zip ties and brackets before securing the support frame to the Ikea frame permanently.<br />
