okay..

1: just...no

and

2: anybody who is anybody knows playing Golden tee on a cabinet with a monitor mounted near vertical like the 1up cab knows you'll smack your hand into it. this is why the real GT cabinets have the monitors damn near laying at a 45.

jennifer:
At 75 lbs for a machine that size, I would have to consider acceptable as a home use machine...But as L/shawn pointed out, screen damage and sore hands could be  issue with such an aggressively played game.

It's not vertical, it is slanted.

Thats what they did for this game.

Look at the picture.

yeah it's slanted, but not nearly as much as an actual cabinet. and the control panel is nearly flat to plumb.. people who play golden tee typically follow through after hitting the trackball. not enough room here with the monitor as it is. the GT cabinet literally has the monitor mounted at around 45 degrees to plumb... combine that with the 15 some odd degrees the panel is to plumb, you are looking at close to 60 degrees between the panel and monitor. This gives you piles of space to follow through if that's your playstyle. (flipped for clarity)
