Help please monitor rotation issue in cocktail cab.

[custard80]

I'm just putting the finishing touches to my 3 sided cocktail cabinet and i'm about to drop the moitor in.

Last night i was thinking about it and suddenly realised i have made my monitor mount 180 degrees the wrong way round! So basically when sat at the horizontal control panel it's upside down! I can't flip it round as it hits two buttons mounted into the cabinet.

It has and nvidia card on board so i can rotate the screen 180, but left and right on the keyboard are the other way round.

Is this a major issue? I want to run mame, snes, genesis, daphne and some pc games such as mutant storm amd golden tee.

I could nibble some plastic of the monitor if needs be to get the buttons in but reluctant to do that if i can help it.

Mala seems to work fine but the left and right are back to front. Is it just a case of wiring them up to the Ipac the other way round? Pc is runnig xp pro. Will the two ends still work ok wired up normally?

Any responses welcome.

You should be able to get away with 90% of it...

In my experience there will be an emulator that doesn't like being rotated by your graphics card much and the other odd thing here and there.

I would flip it now before you use too much time in config that you may choose to repeat down the track.

Others will tell you that this Emu and that FE works fine when you do A, B +C. And they are probably right.. 

But why put yourself through the hassle for that sake of a mounting which  you can modify so it will work. 

Just MHO

Took your advice and hacked some of the monitor mount and plastic surround of with the dremel.

Good Luck...

Keep in mind CRT monitors can hold a high electrical charge (in the capasitors) long after they are switched off. So make sure that your hacking of the plastic does not expose anything that may zap you or pass a charge onto something else that may then zap you or your PC....
