very similar to how i have it for now untill i get around to make a cab with legs.
you have the room.
make some legs on the lower main monitor then play it standing up or in a chair.

the lower main monitor is not the correct dimensions.
why did you not get a long widebody monitor?

I didn't get a huge WS monitor, because this is just my 6 yr old desktop pc with a WS monitor that weighs less than 12 pounds.

I reach up and turn my WS monitor to play FS (takes about 3 seconds) and then I reach up and turn it back to use my pc. Total cost of project was .00 dollars. I use a keyboard, so I have no flipper lag.

That will be my solution, some day:
A WS monitor, light & cheap, my laptop on top of it for the BG + an extra keyboard.

For the time being the laptop does all the job, & very well, thank you.

Bob I notice that the table that is on you monitor is a table that isn't on VpForums. Where did you get that one at (Flame Reaper)?

I could have been smart, but I never learned anything by being smart!

I downloaded Flame Reaper from here, but the author has since deleted all of his tables from here.

That pic was taken when I first bought my ws monitor and I tried FP out in FS arcade mode..... Looks great, but less filling. smile.gif

Looks great Todd!!

Bob, I do the same thing -- just flip my WS on its' side when I want to play FS. Like you said it takes about 3 seconds. It builds your biceps too if you do it around 20 times a day drinks.gif

I angled the top monitor down and secured it with screws to the top of the pc cabinet. smile.gif

My 5 yr. old grandson is playing the table I made for him in the video attached.

That is awesome. Nice Godzilla table.
My best friend owns a real Godzilla. I have not played it in awhile so it was nice to hear those sounds again.
