Well done.
Nice, clean and simple and imho very apt for GA. You can even expand quite easily I think by using the 19" for flight instruments only and putting up a larger screen (or beamer) for external view behind the box.

Thanks, I have a 46" plasma monitor that I had behind it for visuals, but the resolution wasn't too good sitting that close to it, I could see pixels.
Future plans...I may get a projector and make the panel a little shorter...and use PM with a panel with instrument cut outs.
I think it looks great! Very clean, neat and functional! Great work!! :)
That's a very nice setup !!!!!
Very clean and easy going ;)
What I would do if it were mine ? I would keep the 19" only for the gauges by putting at the same time a panel infront of it with the gauges cut outs.
For the external visuals, given that your video card has 2 outputs I would go definately to one TH2GO to add three 20" monitors on top in a "curved" kind of way giving almost 130 degrees to the external visuals.
Great setup :)
Really cool looking and looks to be quite portable too. I love your design.
Cheers

Thanks Guys, out side of the visual system upgrade at some point, i have a few small things...Im going to fill that hole with another saitek radio, and need to add some sticky "feet" to the bottom of the box. It slides a little bit on the glass. I wish i would have built it with a curve on top for a glare shield.
added an iPad running Forflight, not coupled, but good for maps and what a nice way to get familiar with it before taking it up for real.
added the other radio
