The cab feels gigantic to me. It's standard slim cab height and depth (77" tall and 23" deep without CP), but to accomodate the rotating monitor, it is 32" wide.
That's only 6 inches wider than I'd planned on making it, but it feels friggin' huge.

Shoulda used a linear actuator to push the screen out towards the player beyond the sides so it could rotate freely then get pulled back in. That'd be pretty cool ;D

That's kind of the same idea I got from seeing BadMouth's build. Except I was thinking about using linear actuators and angled hinges to swing the monitors (lcd) of the Beast into the cab to have room to rotate then bring them back to the bezel.

Wouldn't it just be easier on all of us if we installed monitors that were the full size of the available space then set up the image to be centered at the appropriate size? That way we could use the bezel art files as well. How expensive would that monitor upgrade be vs what we're spending rotating?

I'm glad you didn't take that approach on your last project!

I'm not saying we should, just wondering where it comes out in the wash. I'm with Darth, if I can make things spin and turn I'm going to do my best to make it happen.
