So do the other shooters I've played in them. --- End quote --- erm When someone says "shooters" I immediately think of light gun games. :dunno But yeah, I see what you're saying. |

ewww in that case please don't. But he said if the cab would be wide enough for 2p shmup play so I guess he means shmups. Personally I don't think it would be quite wide enough. I always stick to 1p mode in shmups and then alternate players though. That NEC monitor should work nicely. You might have to modify your mounting bracket a little bit though. When I pulled the 19" monitor out of my pac man cabinet it looked like the bracket would have to have some holes drilled in it to fit a 21" monitor. |

I have a 22" monitor in my newly built vertical cabinet. I got it for free on Craigslist. It fits perfectly with case and bezel removed. I was able to put something that large in the cabinet due to the angle of the monitor. The general rule is if the angle of the monitor is laying on it's back you can fit a larger monitor in there. The more upright the monitor is the greater chance you have that it won't fit since it will stick out in the back. You'll see in the tail end of the video that my other arcade cabinet is using a 19" monitor. (it barely fit with the back closed) Here's my cabinet (byoac project announcement coming soon): DeLuSioNaL29 |
