When I exit the emu it rotates back. it was a pain but would be MUCH easier if Kega and ZSnes would allow me to rotate. But honestly I almost never play consoles on the cab, thats what the xbox runing the emulators is for on my TV |

FWIW, I have a 36" monitor that I now wish I didn't have. |

Very interesting Malenko. How do the horizontal games look? Kinda hard to tell from the pictures. |

i also agree that a monitor that size is too large for anything but a showcase cabinet. personally i like 19" monitors for an upright cabinet, i think that even the 25/27" monitors are sometimes too big at that distance (depends on the way the cabinet is designed). i have a 27" in my showcase and it is great at that distance...i can't imagine being any closer to it, it hurts my eyes. although that KI cabinet with the rotated monitor looks pretty sweet |

I had a 31" Destination in my first cab (http://quarterheaven.livejournal.com/) and no one ever complained about the size of the monitor being too big. Maybe I just have a lot of blind friends! :) That said, that cab was a big ol' beast. Not nearly as much of a footprint as a true Showcase-style cab, but it was big. My new apartment simply didn't have the space for it... :'( I've always thought Malenko's solution is a unique and effective one, and especially if vert games are your "thing." |
