What is more easy:
1. unscrew screws, disconect conectors, change panel, connect connectors, screw in screws

Umm.. I have swappable panels: one USB connection, and two panel clamps. I daresay I can swap a panel almost as quick as you would rotate yours. My only slowdown is that I have to put the panel away in my storage place in the back of the cabinet. (Easily accessable from the side, open the back door and put on the shelf)

However, I think rotatable panels are cool. If you can pull it off and make it solid, go for it!

What controllers you have on your panels? Do you have for example on first panel joysticks and on second spinner?

Another plus for rotate panels is that I don't must have another place in my room for panels. All is in cabinet. Possible is made 4 rotate panels in cabinet.

He could easily have a USB hub and connect everything to the hub. The amount of connections don't matter.

If you can do a rotate, go ahead. For my money, I would do swappable panels or multiple machines.
Donkey_Kong:
When I first started looking at this cab building and I saw a few of those rotating panels I really thought they were truly 'all the rage'. I wanted to do one too. Then I made just a regular CP and that alone was hard enough as it is. The CP is the hardest thing on your cab. You will be going exponentially difficult with a rotater.

I would love to see ya go for it though...Good Luck man!!
