I just received the parts I ordered. I had to mod them slightly with the dremel cut off wheel in order to get both the 3.5mm jack and the usb jack to fit in the two cutouts on the bottom of the vga plate, but after that they do fit, although it's still a bit tight.
I'm going to try to start this project tomorrow and will get some pics. I'm looking forward to it. I replaced my 20" Dell wide screen lcd with a Chimei 22" wide screen lcd and will be mounting the Dell 20" on the kids wall, with the included dell speaker. Should be pretty clean assuming I can find a wall mount for it. Worst case, I have to make some sort of adapter plate. It's likely that I'll end up cutting a pretty large hole in the drywall to install some sort of re-enforcement for the lcd mount, but who knows I might get lucky and find a stud close to where I want to mount it.
Can't be too sturdy with the little ones, for all I know they will try and use the screen as a pull up bar or something............you just never know when it comes to kids. My parents tell me I've got exactly what I deserve and as time goes by I'm beginning to understand what they meant.  :
Also, that's a pretty clean install BB, what size lcd is that? The Dell that I'm going to be using is similar in that it has a speaker bar underneath the lcd, but at 20 inches it's probably a bit smaller than the TV lcd you posted. Did you make the cut out shelf behind it? What HTPC case is that?
