I've searched and searched and I think I found the end of the internet. Where in the hell can I find a Dynamo Showcase 33" monitor bezel or material big enough to make one?

And if anyone has some parts of a showcase they want to get rid of, I'm looking for a few things.

Hobby lobby sells large black "construction paper" more like a cardboard. I use for odd builds this. Also good for Nintendo cabs. About $14 a sheet
 
I'll have to walk in there. I was thinking of poster board but all the sheets I've found are like 22 x 28. Is what you are talking about more of a corrugated material? Like cardboard?
 
I haven't been into Hobby Lobby lately, but I've also been told to check there before when I was looking for a bezel. I was lucky enough to get one off of a member here, along with 2 pieces to hold the plexiglass in.

The bezel sits against the plexi away from the monitor and with the back enclosed or dark, you won't see the monitor frame at all.

What other pieces are you looking for?
 
Well depending on what's going on with the 39'' I have (unsure yet) I may have a set of plexiglass holders. They are a little long for the 33'' setup thou.

Hobby Lobby as suggested would be your best bet on a bezel, I can take pictures of mine if you need a reference on how mine is setup. Cut middle, sitting against plexi glass, and two sides are bent inward at the edges.

I don't have a marquee box but from the plans I've seen one of those should be quite easy to make.

I might just have to make the box. Doesn't look too hard to make. I have a diagram of the the plexi mounting but I might be missing something other than the brackets. Looks like there is some kind of mounts inside the cab that I don't have.
 
Tracking down some bits now to remove things. Let me know how the marquee box goes. I have no room above the showcase on mine to place one. So I never got around to building it.
 
Scratch that. I can't get either of the side rails that hold the plexiglass in, off. I have a stripped screw on each side.

I don't have a drill handy at the time either. Sorry bout that. I'll see what I can do later this week, as now I want to replace those damned screws to save the headache when I actually really need to get to the monitor.
