Monitor Tilt Question

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Teebor:


Hi,

I have been reading alot and have got enough parts to start constructing my first scratch built cabinet shortly, the prototype panel is built/being modified already

BUT I have a question.  In my searches for parts I got some very good deals including a 33 inch monitor that cost about

MinerAl:

Check out some real machine plans, and see what you think.

I like the pac/gal* leaned way back (30 degrees from horizontal, I think) monitor, especially if the tube on the monitor sticks way out the back.  You can get a smaller footprint cabinet that way.

Flinkly:

i think most scratch built cabinets have a 10 degree tilt backwards.  it makes for a better viewing of all different kinds of games.

Teebor:


I will give 30 degress will give a smaller footprint?  I might have to give that a go.

I kind of like the 10 degrees tilt, anything other then upright has got to be good.

I was originally trying to make a machine that would look like Mortal Kombat II remake, but because of the sheer size of the screen now I don't think that possible at all.


Flinkly:

just to point out the obvious, if you build a cab around this monitor, the cab won't be able to fit through regular sized doors...
