Finished my first cabinet
monkey puzzle:
Does your monitor have a TN screen? If so, what is the viewing angle like? I have heard that with some TN monitors, when the screen is in the vertical position, the colours are messed up when viewed from the side.

Hmmm... TN. Well, after searching for what TN is I still don't know if my monitor has it or not. This is the monitor I am using so maybe you can tell if it is or not by the specs.
I took some quick pics at different angles.
Horizontal Game
Track and Field Centered:
From the Player One position:
Player Two position:
Extreme Left of Player One:
Extreme Right of Player Two:
Vertical Game
Pacman Centered
Player One
Player Two
Conclusion:
Horizontal games are great at any angle. Colors are good and picture is clear.
Vertical games are good. From extreme left of player one to center colors are accurate and clear. Beginning at the Player Two position colors just begin to darken. It is minor and everything is still clear and doesn't hamper play in any way. As you can see in Pacman, the dots are slightly reddish on the left of the screen for Player Two but Pacman is still yellow and all the guys are their correct color.
For Vertical my monitor rotates 90º CCW so Player Two's side is actually the bottom of the monitor.
Hope this helped a little. I know the pics are terrible but it's 3:30am so what do you expect. :P

Thanks for the reply. Juding by the pics, I would be very happy with a monitor setup like that. I have found out that your monitor has a TFT active matrix screen. Now I know that a TN is a type of TFT active matrix, but that doesn't mean you have a TN. I have foumd a cheap 22" TN monitor, and if I knew the viewing angle is as good as yours, I would buy it no problem.
