New MAME Cab Started for a Friend
johnmartin:
I am not so far along that I can not change something. I went with 24" wide interior face to face to minimize cutting of the connecting panels. I could still pick up 2 sheets of 1/2" MDF and rip them to make the cabinet about 4" wider. I may actually do that now that so many people think I should. Now that I am thinking I could get Home Depot to rip them for me and be done with it. I personally think the 27" is too freaking big. A 25" would have been better IMHO but you use what you are given. No cash outlay which is good

No, leave it vertical! If he loves the vertical games then that's what he'll play, so design with the best vertical experience as the ultimate goal.
Besides, it looks like if you went horizontal now you'd end up needing a *smaller* TV thus negating the entire exercise.

Decided it is staying as is. He likes it that way and he is the client so his word goes.

I hope you are also going to supply him with a free pair of welding goggles and some SF 1000 Sun Cream!! 8)

A 29" monitor isn't unusual for vertical games. Almost all the candy cabs that come out in Japan use 29" monitors and players sit right in front of them. People go nuts for these Egret cabs:

I think this cab is super neat. I would have dedicated it to vert games, but if you only have one cab then I guess you want to play the most games. I've played SF2 letterboxed on a vertical monitor and it's completely fine.
