Mount the PSU hdds and mobo IO panel on the opposite side that the monitor mounts too.
Should balance it out pretty well.
If you make it more than 18" wide, splash should not be a huge problem and you can still have simple access to the front edge of the mobo for 24 pin, power/reset/clear cmos buttons.
You could even take it a step further, and make the bottom level like 12 inches high so the motherboard area sits near the top of the LCD.
Slide in rails instead of a VESA mount would also let you flip the LCD around 180 degrees for protecting the screen during transport. (Like 1" thick U-Channel covered inside with foam tape)
