How much elbow room on a 4p setup? Opinions wanted
Donkbaca:
Yeah, and the monitor will be too small
drventure:
Gotta agree with everyone else.
It'll just be too cramped. I've got a 4' wide frankenpanel and it can feel cramped with 4 players. No way you'll get that around one side of a cocktail.
But, since you've already brought up linear actuators, why not something a little inventive
First, put 2 players on either side. That you can do no problem with a cocktail.
Then mount 1 screen flat, with an actuator to lift it up. Put a second screen under the first, with an actuator to lift it up,so when deployed, the two screens make an upside-down V so both sides can see the same image?
Ok. It's a little ambitious, but it'd be a fun build!

Oh drv, an idea after my own heart. I've been wanting to do this for some time now, but money is tight ... with a mini-itx board and one of the new Core chips with a built-in gpu, you can build a tiny beast of a system and still have plenty of room in a cocktail for 2 lcds and the gear necessary to raise them up...
Sorry... </threadjack> :'(
