Not a dumb idea.  Well, I hope not because I've given it much thought.

For the cab design, you don't need to be a furniture maker.  You just need a cab that is symmetrical from the side.  I'm thinking like the Tron cab.

I don't have my (sad) drawings with me at the moment, but I believe I came up with a way to use two systems as separate machines or to share the monitors as one game.  It would require 2 ipacs, a KVM and if I recall correctly, 2 PCs.

I'll have to find my drawings and revisit this.

ABACABB:
Sure.  I have thought about doing something like this to make room for 4 players.  I have a 2 player cab now and I like it's setup so instead of scrapping it to build a 4 player CP, I would just build another 2 player cab to set beside/behind.  They would share the same pc but each have own monitor and controls.

Thenasty:
I made one but with 2 monitors (1 Horizontal, 1 Vertical) in one cabinet.

I just flick a switch to switch which monitor will be in use according to the game.

How would you do this?   Can you run separate instances of MAME on one PC?
