Thanks all!
the mods don't stop there.....
here are some pics of aluminum mouse pad, ya that's right aluminum!
it works great and it doesn't scratch...not after being clear coated...it also lights up.....
some of the pics are blurry, until I figure out how to take better night pics (sorry)

and

at night

and this one I shut off keyboard lights, so you can see better...

ok... these are just construction pics
first off I wanted to lose the monitor base...so it can be placed somewhere else,

I extended the small power cord with a 6ft. extention cable.
this is what it looks like without base.

I've chosen to use 2" aluminum pipe (which still needs to be polished) to house all wires and cables that come from monitor making sure that they all fit. I also just drilled two small holes to match the holes on back of monitor to fasten pipe giving me the same adjustment as before.
]

I then layed out and cut hole for pipe that will go through desk top, at ther ear of splat window.

still lots of work to do on monitor and desk.
will post soon
this gives you an idea of what it will all look like.
nowhere near finished yet......
