Not a dumb idea. Well, I hope not because I've given it much thought.
For the cab design, you don't need to be a furniture maker. You just need a cab that is symmetrical from the side. I'm thinking like the Tron cab.
I don't have my (sad) drawings with me at the moment, but I believe I came up with a way to use two systems as separate machines or to share the monitors as one game. It would require 2 ipacs, a KVM and if I recall correctly, 2 PCs.
I'll have to find my drawings and revisit this.
ABACABB:
Sure. I have thought about doing something like this to make room for 4 players. I have a 2 player cab now and I like it's setup so instead of scrapping it to build a 4 player CP, I would just build another 2 player cab to set beside/behind. They would share the same pc but each have own monitor and controls.
Thenasty:
I made one but with 2 monitors (1 Horizontal, 1 Vertical) in one cabinet.
I just flick a switch to switch which monitor will be in use according to the game.

How would you do this? Can you run separate instances of MAME on one PC?
