Extra Apple 23" Cinema Display - What to Build?

[8BitMonk]

I've recently picked up a 23" Apple Cinema display for dirt cheap and am debating what to build with it.

I already have a standard Ultimate Arcade II style stand up machine in my game room so I was thinking a bartop, cocktail or mini-pincab.

What I'm leaning towards is a cocktail that includes a pinball plunger and knocker and also plays horizontal with flip-out (flip-down?) controls on the side where the coin door normally is. Anyone seen a cocktail project like this I can use as reference?

Any other good ideas for my 'extra' monitor?

Build a vertical cab, or a cocktail cab like you were saying. But make the monitor tilt up when you wanna play horizontal games.

Good idea, I hadn't thought to make it tilt up for horizontal play. Thanks for the input.

Very cool! Not sure I'd go through the effort to make it hydraulic but I definitely like the tilt.

I also want to hide the side control panel though I haven't seen any good examples of this in a cocktail. The best examples I've seen are this bar:



and this table:

I like that! If I build my bar, could but that in the front for some 4 player action! Have a link?
