New pictures of my cocktail-style MAME cabinet

This is not a gutted cabinet, it is completely built from scratch.

the real classic games (pre-1985). For most newer games you can use the
command line option of -frameskip 7 and get by just fine.

It seems like I read somewhere that monitors would not operate properly in this
position (or would eventually not operate properly). Was this an urban legend,
or does it have some base in fact? Nice cabinet, BTW.

Many monitors were not intended to be operated sideways or upside-down.
The general rule-of-thumb is to do so at your own risk. Warnings were put in
the MAME readme with heavy emphasis in case some people were tempted to use the
command-line arguments to rotate the display and flip their monitors on their
sides to utilize the full screen dimensions for games that used vertical
monitors. It would be nice if newer monitors had a capability to physically
rotate the screen. Since most monitors have such features as flat screens and
energy conservation nowadays I guess it's only a matter of time before that
happens. The only question is: what other practical purpose would it have?

problems. I have a cabinet identical to Chads (we built them together
in my basement). The only concern I have is heat. The monitor case
isn't designed to disipate heat when laid on it's back. The heat rises
and gets trapped underneath the front of the monitor. We have large
fans blowing directly on the monitors and that seems to work. I've
left mine on for 5 or 6 hours without having any problems. I have a
Komodo 17" monitor in mine.
We may be shortening the lives of our monitors by having them on
their back, but 17" monitors have gotten so inexpensive that it's no
big deal to replace them every few years.

line said (I knew it was truncated). Yet, because I did not think to
change the subject line in my reply post I unwittingly fell into the
same trap! My subject line was truncated in the exact same way. You
would think that I, of all people, would have foreseen and avoided such
an obvious Pitfall.
Now we may both be getting some unusual email. Oh, well.

It was called the Pivot, and I've got one of the original B&W ones. Still
works great. They also came out in color, and you could get one for the PC,
just was a pain getting a video card that would properly support it.

The Radius Pivot. This was back in the days when 21" monitors cost a
squillion dollars, so to get a 1:1 full page A4 display you could
instead get vertical monitors, like the Apple full page display.

I'd build my own first before paying someone else for one... I was just
wondering what your total budget ended up being. ;-)
Chad Hendrickson
I already had a lot of the computer parts (monitor, motherboard, keyboard
matrix, etc.) so I had to purchase:
Wood $50
Happ and Wico Controls $60
Wiring, fans, power cables/outlets, paint, hinges, etc. $100
So materials cost me about $210.
The BIG part of it is labor. Of course, you need tools (such as drill,
jigsaw, router, circular saw, etc).

It would be great for desktop publishing. If you could flip the monitor on its side you would be able to do page layout much easier.

About half a year ago I evaluated a 15" LCD monitor that pivoted
90 degrees. It was good for DTP and also for web browsing. But
it was when I ran MAME and brought up Pac-Man in its correct
dimensions that everyone in the office (included me) wanted one.
They were about a grand and the client ended up going with
something cheaper, but they're out there.
Portrait CRT monitors for the Mac have been around for some time
as well, though I've never seen one in actual use. They seem to
start around $1500 last I looked. Cool, but I'd sooner get one
of those ArcadePC cabinets for $500 less and deal with the wrong
aspect ratio ;)

Mine DOES, but no thread here;-)
Anyway, guess he'd be talking about MAME.
Man, its getting greater each DAY!!!

Actually there are a few manufacturers making pivot type monitors designed
to make viewing we pages easier (longer monitor = less scrolling) ... I
don't know what the length would do though as the monitor is not even close
to square.
