** SURVEY ** --- What is the height of your CP? (upright cabinets)
Xam:
Bout 39 1/2" here...bit low for me standing (I'm 6' 6"), but its perfect for my kids and most people. I usually play sitting, so it works fine for me.

38" to the base of my joys on a Dynamo HS-5 with custom CP in stock location at stock angle.
I don't know if it is the height or angle, probably the angle, but my right hand (on the buttons) ends up with wrist pain after about 10 minutes of play, I like the simplicity of the system the Dynamo uses for the CP and don't really want to redesign it but I have a hard time playing very long on it.
NightGod:
Most likely the angle-changing mine by a bit made all the difference in the world-it's like a whole new control panel.
severdhed:
my control panel is level, not sloped and is at 41" from the floor. and it feels great. It is still about 3" lower than my elbows, but I have played it for hours a few times with no discomfort at all. it even works great from my bar stools. I have thought about sloping it slightly to give it a more authentic look, but it is so comfortable now, i'm not sure that is the best thing to do. From the looks of things, my panel is higher than most peoples, but I have found that most real arcade games that I play are too low and sloped too much to be comfortable to play for more than a few minutes.
