3rd side on a cocktail cab?
matman:
I am currently building a cocktail cab and am considering putting a 3rd side on it. I've seen some threads on size of 3rd side with respect to comfort (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=77334.0) and some people have discussed "in hindsight" if they would have done it or not. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=91110.0)
What I'm wondering is how is the view from the side? Is it worth it building a third side for games like street fighter or double dragon? Or is playing these types of games on a cocktail cab not worth it. I'm trying to conserve space, so an upright isn't really an option.
My current path is to build the cab 2 sided and then decide if I want to add the third side or not (possibly making it a modular add-on). Once i get the two sided version built, I'll probably have a better idea, but I thought I'd get some opinions here first.

Uprights take up way less space than a cocktail. :cheers:

heh..i guess it depends on how you look at it.

Vertical space usually isn't a problem, so, yeah, an upright is smaller than a cocktail.

Not only is the footprint larger (for the most part), you need space on BOTH sides to accommodate people!
