Build or buy?
severdhed:
i have a 19" LCD monitor mounted horizontally in my cabinet and I play lots of vertical games. yeah, they don't fill the screen, but they are still alot of fun, and nobody has ever had a complaint about it. i am in the process of building a vertical classics cabinet now, but until it is finished, i'll continue to play them on my horizontal monitor, because they are still just as much fun...so don't let that discourage you.

You know, that is exactly why I'm looking to get two cabs. One for each layout.

Why do you say the machine is a horizontal layout? It's running Arkanoid which is vertical.
Personally, I'd make it a vertical MAME machine with the vertical arcade monitor if you don't restore it.

Sorry, I confused myself. I bought 2 machines, One was vertical and the other horizontal. Most of the games that I played as a kid were vertical games. I figure that it was easier to build two than try to rotate. I'm not really looking to restore unless it was some sort of rare game which I probably would not have bought.

In that case IMO you should make one a vertical MAME and one a horizontal MAME. You won't be sorry and you will be able to run pretty much EVERY SINGLE GAME at its correct resolution!
