How many have built both a dedicated Vert and Horz cab?
« on: May 30, 2005, 10:30:43 am »
Just wondering how many here have built a horizontal cab and then backed it up with a vertical cab for even more realistic native games..?

I am in the process of building a (Horizontal) cab and despite the fact that its not even finished am already thinking about my next (vertical) project..

I intend to build one of each this summer (if my funds allow).  Otherwise, the horizontal is first.

With the first project nearly complete, that means that the second--a dedicated vertical--will be started soon.

After seeing this thread from those with experience, is there any advice you'd give on a first-time vertical cabinet?  Specifically, any major software/display issues you guys ran into in your projects?

Thanks in advance...

Word of advice, do the control panels last, or you will never finish. :laugh:

I "finished" my cab with a horizontal monitor, then decided that I wasn't completely happy with the swappable CPs, so I went modular.

I also wasn't happy with the monitor in it because my wife didn't want me to "tear apart" the brand-new 21" PC monitor I bought for it, so I mounted it with the case intact.

I recently decided to make it a dedicated vertical cab, bought a 19", decased it, and mounted it vertically.

I just got a 29" monitor for my "next" project, but haven't done anything other than hook it up to use with my standalone controllers yet.

I have built at least a dozen of each.

Im building a 3 sided cocktail to hold me over until I cam build a two person sit down cab. (Whaiting for siding on pool hall)
3 sided cocktail is only way to take full atvantage of monitor.
They treated me like an animal and that's what I became.
