A rotating mechanism is just a ton of work and aggravation for no gain. --- End quote --- I considered this, but swappable panels have to be stored. No need for extra clutter in my life. Plus I am an engineer, so the challenge is what makes this desirable. --- End quote --- The simple answer would be to store the extra panels inside the cabinet. K.I.S.S. --- End quote --- Also considered this. Makes the cabinet extra large. Something my wife hates about the current cabinet. So no K.I.S.S., as I thought the options through and am doing what I want and what fits me, not the universal dumbed down version of things. |

So the two unused panels can fit inside this cabinet if they're on a rotating assembly... But won't fit inside this cabinet if not. :cheers: |

The bottom compartment would have to be much larger to fit extra panels and the PC. I know because my original build tried to do this it became a messy cluster F in the cabinet. I ended up redoing my first cabinet with an extra wide panel which I dont want this time around. |

I dig the idea myself. Look forward to seeing how you implement it all, especially as regards... 1. Cable management 2. Clearance during rotation 3. Locking mechanism 4. Fit and finish when parked Very cool idea, but obviously a lot to execute well ! |

How many panels are we talking about here? If you look up "blip" you will find an excellent example of swappable panels. There are only 2 but the amount of games covered is crazy and the second panel is stored out of sight on the TOP of the cabinet. Check it out: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,137295.0/all.html I think a rotating solution would be really cool if you can pull it off. Those aren't projects we see around here as you can probably tell from the responses. Good luck. :cheers: |
