I just finished up this project and wanted to share the progress. It breaks some of the rules of traditional arcade building. Overall, I'm very happy with how it turned out! The 50" vertical screen makes a huge difference for playable real estate.

I really like how you mounted the display to show the entire bezel on vertical games. Well done!

Thanks! There are only two others that I've seen over at BYOAC. It was so easy to do and well worth it, I had to jump on the idea!

So in that photo with smash t.v. horizontal, does hyperspin and horizontal games end up showing at 4:3 with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen?

Yes, there are black bars at the top and bottom on 4:3 games, maybe 2 inches on either end... I guess it would depend on your TV how noticeable they are. They do not stand out to me on an LED (below is the one I purchased). I believe the others who have done this are using Plasma TV's, so that would be an even deeper black.

Thanks for checking it out! Glad it has a warm reception here. This site never disappoints.

Jumpstile - I finally have the Aimtraks working with recoil. Well... One gun recoils everytime. The other, not so much lol
