Do you think this will look funny? My "shallow" arcade machine.

So I was putting together ideas for my up and coming project [several years in the planning or at least dreaming of... but career and home renos have kept the urges quiet until recently]. Due to the high cost of real estate these days [and I don't mean literally, I just mean my house is no mansion] I am thinking a cab that is only 2 feet deep, with a control panel that doesn't extend too far off the front. Where the monitor iwll go it starts out at 12 inches at the bottom and 7 or 8 at the top [using an lcd screen]. And it'll be 30 inches wide side to side. Here's a 3d thing I drew up in sketchup - look funny or alright?

Oh and my control panel isn't modeled yet - it is going to be 9 inches tall at the back [due to having a keyboard tray built in among other things] and will sit on that shelf there attached with stove bolts and wingnuts. The screen will be widescreen.

Will you be seated to play?
Looks uncomfortable for a standing person...

Looks uncomfortable for THAT standing person lol. like I said, my control panel will be 9" above that bottom shelf. I just haven't modeled the CP yet but will repost when it's done.

Without showing where the monitor and control panel will be, that really just looks like a poorly designed book shelf.
