Supporting heavy hinged lids.

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to hinge a heavy chest lid such that it will remain open at a 60 degree angle.

The lid will be heavy as it will contain quite a bit of electronics: This is a "stealth" home theatre installation. I'm thinking up to 30kg (it probably won't be this much, but I like to over engineer) with a depth of 45 - 60cm, depending on whether I I hinge the entire lid or only 2/3 of it.

Any suggestions on how to support this. I've been wondering if I could somehow adapt gas lifts from the rear hatch of a car?

Thanks for any ideas

Matt
