Seems like he wants something like 1UP, just a whole bunch easier. I think he's saying he wants to flip it like turning the page on a book. It'd have to be like 10" thick though. |

Ya, that's what I had pictured in my mind, but I can't figure out how it's going to be done without having the "guts" from the other side showing. I agree it's a good concept, but have absolutely no idea how you'd hide the undersides of the controls of either side, unless, like was guessed at, it was 10 inches or so. |

I get it--its a two sided box with the axis of rotation running from the front of the control panel to the back--easily enough done--use lazy suzy bearings (hollow centers) and run your wires to the pc through there--you would have to make sure it only rotates one direction and reverse otherwise your wires will bind eventually. You would also have to make the cabinet wide enough to accomodate the diagonal length(corner to corner length) of the control panel or else it will bind on rotation. If your x-axis parallel to the front of the cab and the y-axis is front to back, rotating along the x would be way simpler and more elegant in turning than having it flip on the y-axis. less clearance issues for one. of course if you are just going to pull it up and out and then flip it--ignore the above--then you have to worry about pull out issues (don't we all ;)) |

Or....How about this I know modular CP's are not a new idea but usually only 3rd and 4th person extensions onto the sides. What about a track ball or spinner that can hook onto the front of the existing CP. You could hide a PS/2 or usb connection under your existing CP for easy hookup. I just hate not having room when using a trackball. Nothing worse than being over crowded. There are quite a few inventive ways of supporting the CP that wont take away from the look of the Cabinet when the add-on is not in use. Use your imagination. |
