Rotating an arcade monitor is the best method (because that's what actual vertical arcade games used). I wish I was more mechanically inclined -- I would've tried to do this in my cabinet. Playing vertical games on a large multisync horizontal arcade monitor is a close 2nd IMO. |

Rotating would definitely be easier with an LCD panel. I think you might need to degauss when rotating a CRT, but that isn't a big deal. The games should look fine in either orientation. Depends on screen size and how many of each type of game you play which orientation you would prefer. |

Well I already got tv for that project, just got it off some moving out sale. 26" for $36. it has huge speakers on sides instead of on the bottom therefore I wonder if I should mount it verticaly to save space on the width of the cabinet. |
| Tiger-Heli:
Decase it and mount it horizontally, mount the speakers above it or use PC speakers. Read the monitor forum about discharging it safely before you mount it decased, though. |

Luckily my 27" TV fits snugly in the cabinet without any modifications. |
