LCD mounting

In the past I've used a full size layout of the display tack glued(UHU stick) to the case and carefully drilled the 4 holes for mounting. Drill 4 'corner' holes for the display and cut out the 'rectangle' for the display. I use the 4-40 post hardware found on all LPT and COM ports as 'standoffs'. Either use a PVC sheet protector or a thin 'plexiglas' as a cover for the LCD wedged between the LCD and the case. Patience is the key to getting it right and looking good.Slow and steady !

I am not aware of an off-the-shelf bezel. However, FWIW there are two ways I work with ABS for big, highly visible holes like this:

1. Score the outline with an Exacto (on the outside of the box) - the deeper the better. Just keep running around the outline with your blade. Drill a row of holes in the center of the scrap portion. Use needle-nose pliers to bend the plastic inwards (i.e. grip from inside). The plastic will stretch and break along the score mark and leave a clean-edge hole visible from the outside. Since it will whiten, you will want to run the blade around the inside of the cut edge.
2. (Better, but requires more practice to get it looking good and may be difficult to get enough access) - Use a nibbling tool.

Yes, there are. PRD Products is one supplier and it's okay for small quantity products, and they are available through distribution. I prefer a one-piece overlay that is flat and sealed and covers the whole panel.

The slickest way to do it is with a CNC machine. Maybe you can find a machinist or other hobbyist near you who has one. I built a small one and it makes cutouts in plastic boxes awfully simple now. I recommend it as a "must-do" project for any serious electronics/model builder hobbyist.
