One PC, two cabinets? Possible? How?
(1/3) > >>
Apollo:
If I wanted to run 2 cabs ( 1 19" horizontal and 1 19" vertical ) from 1 PC how would I do it? Or better still how would you do it? Ideas?
I want to use ArcadeVGA and IPAC ( x2? ) if that helps. Has anyone done this before?
I realise you couldn't use them at the same time but that's not a problem.
HeadRusch:
If I had to do it, i wouldn't......I'd simply buy another motherboard/cpu/ram/videocard/hd/cdrom for the 2nd box.

Remember, vertical monitor games are essentially old games.......you can buy a 1Ghz combo and all the essentials above for like $200 bucks or so.......you dont need a 4Ghz cpu to play any vertical games.

Apollo:
Yeah you are right. However I am trying to be a total tight ass lol. VERY limited budget thanks to my wife not really understanding why I have to have an arcade machine "taking up space" in the first place lol.
I'm sure it must have been done before, am I missing any obvious MAJOR problems? Because at first sight it seems like a reasonable way to go.

There would be no easy way to do it with arcade monitors.  with pc monitors, easy as pie.  Just use a kvm.  Linksys makes a great home one for two pcs.

ONE PC, TWO cabs! I don't see how a KVM could help you here...
