Hello all,

I found a cabinet but the monitor is positioned vertically instead of horizontal (original Birdie King cabinet). I know a lot of games like Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Centipede, etc were all vertical but what happens if you try to play a horizontal game on a vertical mounted monitor? Will this work very well? Does anyone else have a vertical mounted monitor? I know there is software that will allow you to run windows in a vertical position (www.portrait.com) so I don't see that as a problem.

If a vertical mount won't work, is it possible to mount the monitor horizontally instead or is this too much work trying to rearrange mounts and everything else inside the cab?

Your help is most appreciated as I need to make a decision as to whether to get this cab or not soon.

Thanks all!

-Jeff
