That way we could use the bezel art files as well. How expensive would that monitor upgrade be vs what we're spending rotating?

That was somewhat my original plan with this cab.
A 27" screen can provide the same viewing area as a 19" vertical or a 24" horizontal 4:3 monitor.
It was going to have custom bezels that would put the vertical games in front of player 1.
I was having trouble getting the vertical Taito Type X games to work with the screen rotated in Vista (I have them working on XP).
Then I made the mistake of putting the monitor on it's side and playing some shmups. ;D
Decided that the equivelant of a 24" vertical monitor went along with the "newer games" focus of the cab.
.......but we're waayyy off topic.

I see a lot of networking equipment but not a lot of networking cables... What's that about?
Woodshop Flunky:
I've got the usual suspects in my shop (table saw, drill press, etc...), but one thing I really love is my Workmate.
This was one of my first purchases, and I used it stock for just a while, but the top didn't seem beefy enough. So, I took two pieces of 3/4 inch Russian birch plywood, glued them together, and drilled all the original dog holes.
It's 1 1/2 inch thick now... and can take a real beating... plus it clamps like any other workmate.
:)
mcseforsale:
Yeah. I need to do that to mine, too. That's a good idea. Mine accidentally was left out in the rain one night and the OG MDF swelled up on all the edges. :applaud:
How much bigger did you make the 2 pieces?
