My First Arcade Cabinet!

Here is a cab I build with a ghetto-rotating lcd panel. I don't have any viewing issues with it. It looks the same horizontal or vertical.

I like this idea, but if I get a CRT Monitor/TV, would such a system be practical? Either way, exactly, how do you actually rotate the thing?

The panel that the lcd is mounted to has two handles on it (above and below the screen in the pic). It simply pulls out for rotating :)
I wouldn't want to do that to a mounted CRT monitor. I tested a CRT for rotating, but found out that it would have to degaussed every time it changed orientation.

I'M BACK!
I have much to tell you. Over the past several weeks, I went to my friend's house almost every Monday to work on the cabinet. I stuck with the basic Pac-Man cabinet plans, and will probably decorate it accordingly. It is almost complete! Pictures coming soon...
