cocktail owners - do you regret buiding a cocktail rather than an upright?

Neck strain is not an issue at all. ??? Never heard of that? In fact it's very comfortable.
I retro fitted an old GaLaga machine so I had to add extra fans so it did not become an oven.
Your CP will be smaller but that is OK I only want to play old 80's games so I don't need many controls.
Many a beer has been had over my table from 2001 ;D

Thanks for the feedback, guys.
I am considering a cocktail as a compliment to an upright 'typical' (2 player, 8 ways/u360, trackball, horizontal monitor) mame setup. Since I must have a centered physically restricted 4-way, this would allow me to avoid a frankenpanel or swappable panels. Plus having more machines is cool. It may be just a dedicated 4-way vertical machine, but I may put on a horz panel for 4-way horz action (but I agree on the negative aesthetics of a third panel). And would like somehow to integrate 4 potentiometers for 4 player Warlords. I really need a third machine to cover everything well. That may be another (second) cocktail!

Me neither, I was just throwing things out there that I thought MAY be an issue. It appears that this is not an issue.
Thanks,

Just kidding. Build it, you won't regret it.
