IntruderAlert:
Having the ability to go back and change the monitor angle or anything else is a great feature of having a modular design.
I'm shopping for parts right now.
I hope I'll be ready to build along with you on your M2 project
Could you post a parts list of what you plan to use?
I had an idea of using ball transfer units around the wood circle for the monitor rotation

Possibly sandwiching the lower portion of the circle to keep it from flipping up.
These roll really well, you might have seen them on a conveyor assembly before
KrawDaddy:
What if we designed the cab around a monitor box that had a heavy duty industrial hinge up front so we could rotate the monitor and change its angle from Pac-man layback to verticle for shooting games!

I'm not sure what you mean..
Have you seen the rotating mount from the Quadro arcade machines?
Carsten Wessels used one in his Centipede cabinet.

It looks like it was made from a bicycle rim and some old skate wheels or something. :)
Very good design though.
It should hold the monitor just fine at any angle.
KrawDaddy:
I meant to change the angle on the fly. just as you would rotate it on the fly.
