worth building two mame cabs: 19in vertical & 25 in horizontal?

(1/5) > >>

TJCOMBO:
I built a 25 in horitzontal mame cabinet that I love. Now I am thinking of getting something more true to the original for certain games with a 19 in vertical mame cabinet.  25 in horizontal PacMan and Dig Dug just doesn't cut it from what I remember, but then again, it's been years. Anyone do two MAME cabinets for vertical and horizontal games and feel like it was worth it?

MTPPC:
I have a 25" horizontal monitor in my ms. Pac-mame. It works pretty good for vertical games:

I ended up going with one of each.  I don't think it is strictly necessary but I played quite a bit of Ms Pac Man on a dedicated a few years ago and decided I really liked the feel of the smaller vertical cabinet for those classic games.  There is something about looking down at a vertical monitor versus starting straight ahead at a horizontal that I prefer for the "classics". 

TJCOMBO:
Cool good to know! Maybe when I have funds soon (and space), I could do this too.

paigeoliver:
You might actually want to consider a 25" vertical cabinet. Many classic vertical titles are quite impressive on larger screens.
