Queen Of The Felines

I've had an X-Men Vs. Street Fighter arcade marquee propped up against my entertainment center for about a year now, and I've been trying to figure out a way to hang it on the wall without having to get it framed or damage it with nails/tape/etc. I finally figured out a very cheap way to do it.
I took two nails and pounded them about 3/4 of the way into the wall. After making sure they were even, I set the marquee on top of them. I then used two more nails and hammered them in just slightly above the marquee. The two bottom nails acted like a shelf, and the heads of the two top ones held it in place. There's enough room that if I wanted to temporarily take it down for whatever reason I'd just have to slide it out instead of having to remove the nails first.
The result looks pretty damn good, with the marquee flat against the wall and the nails are barely visible. Of course, the only drawback is that you'll have holes in your wall, but it's better than nothing. :)
