Title: Two monitor Full Size Vigolix.
Post by: abispac on March 06, 2023, 12:15:30 pm

I love how this full size vigolix came out. I added a second monitor at the bottom to use for marquee and games like punch out. It looks so nice. To bad it wasnt for me, it was a for a friend of mine. But after i finish my mancave, ill build one for my self. Sorry, no construction pics, this one i cutted by hand even though cnc services prices here are next to nothing. So the cabinet has alot of imperfections. You cant actually see them unless you are a very very observative person.
Te reason i didnt put the second monitor at top is because of it thickness, but i think it looks good there too.

Nice build  8)

Just wondering if a single large widescreen tv/monitor in portrait mode would have worked better instead of the 2 monitors, i made a vertical bartop last year, does pinball as well, uses coinops as the frontend, Mame games displays the marquee on the same screen.

Two human beings having a civilizised conversation looks wierd to you? Is just an educated guy giving me some compliments as he saw my work on facebook and in here. Understandable.  :cheers:

You need to raise that bottom monitor an inch.  It looks weird.
