Re: Gravitar - Quantum control panel

I had this discussion with Jay Gallagher last night. The problem is the
mounting of a vertical monitor into a cabinet and cp that is made for
horizontal.

If you were to mount a vert monitor in a gravitar/space duel, it would require
you to cut the piece of wood going across that holds the monitor up. Most
importantly, you'd have to take about 3 to 4 inches off the top of control
panel so it wouldn't overlap over the sight of the monitor.

Lastly a 3" trackball would barely fit into the CP. Where the tball fits,
would definitely not line up with a Quantum CPO. You'd have to hack the CPO.
I haven't speced it out with a 2 1/4", but I think the 3" is what you need.

Anyways, not an easy project and definitely requires hacking.
