 while im not personally interested in such a cab... there are those that would be.  

 i recomend making the cab wide enough to mount a 27" display in there.   Most fighters use 25" monitors.. and are much better visually.

 your current 19" ?  monitor mounted horizontally wont display verticals without too much shrinkage.

  with a 27" display mountd horizontally... youlll have a perfect 19" diagnol vertical picture - and a huge horizontal display to boot.  (good for tripple screen games too)

  the only other route is rotating monitors... which can be a lot trickier.
 
 i also agree with lilwolf.   only the wealthy without skillz will be buying these... the rest will try to duplicate it plans or not, on thier own.  Some may buy the plans though... as some like the ease, cost effectivness, and not having to re-invent the wheel.    

 so with that in mind... you'd want to make the thing decked  out...  not cheap.  or... make a few different models: 'cost effecient'  &  'no expense spared'  kinda thing.

I currently have a 27" monitor WITH enclosure mounted in my cab.  It takes literally every inch of available real estate in there, but it fits nonetheless.  (Looks SWEET BTW...)  I definitely will not be doing rotating monitors.

You wouldn't believe how many names I have of people waiting for these, with more requests coming in every day, all without any real advertising.  It will probably take a few months just to produce the first round of cabs, assuming most of the interest turns into actual orders.  I'm assuming most of those aren't CEOs, just folks who would rather spend the money up front for a quality finished product, rather than bit by bit while sacrificing a ton of free time.

what about us poor guys down under (Ozzie)?

Any plans for licensed distribution in Australia :)

Let it be known I'd be keen  ;D

Once you wewre up and running over there

I'd also pay big US dollars for the plans just to build one myself. Something worth thinking about for us guys downunder

Cheers

1up,

Is it possible that the full cabinets will have a WG D9200 27" monitor?  It seems that the D9200 is by far the monitor of choice on the forums and I think any cabinet I purchased would probably have to have it due to the flexibility it seems to provide with the multiple resolutions supported, along with the positive reviews from others on the forums.
So basically, one could purchase a cabinet as shown, except for the Star Wars configuration, one could have a stardard Steering Wheel attachment, and also a 4 player configuration for the basic CP(8 buttons per player, etc.  similiar to the Slikstik Quad).
Good luck with the project--love the design.

That is the plan.  I have a 27" VGA monitor and am very satisfied with it.

1up,

Good news on the D9200 monitors for the full cabinets.  Just another question, for the 4-player panel, will options such as trackball, spinner, 4-way joystick, player select buttons, etc. be included?  Basically, similiar to the Slikstik Quad control panel?
Also, on the website I noticed the Terminator 2 guns listed as a future project.  Looked extremely cool.  Is it possible that one of the full cabinets would have the 4-player panel, a steering wheel panel, and the Terminator 2 guns on the third panel?  That would perhaps be my "dream" setup.  Is that possible?
Thanks.
