looking for positive ideas on building a 60-1/19-1 in one cabinet

Hello,
Looking to build a dual pcb 60-1/ 19-1 for my girlfriends apartment.
And to top it off, it is in a small cherry master cabinet that was a trivia game. It is for a small apartment, so size was limited to small cabinet. I am going lcd, so a 19 it is, since a 17 inch couldn't turn 1/4 turn either.
One idea was to build a frame that could be pulled out and turned. Another was two lcd's mounted on a swivel. You can just rotate to correct monitor.

Then to the power to the pcb's. I was just going to install two power supplies and two plugs, looking to keep it simple. Just plug in the game you want. Another idea was relays to shift things around, but that is a little more professional looking, but I am going for simple and efficient. I don't think running both pcb's at the same time off one power supply is necessary.
Just looking for any ideas or input to make this simple and easy, but neat and effiecient.
Thanks in advance
 
I don't think it's a good idea to do both. You'll almost do better building two dedicated machines. The CP is the biggest issue since many of the 19:1 games are very different on the CP to the 60:1 which is for a single joystick CP.
 
I was thinking of making the control panel a 19-1 style, and the 60-1 will just play. most 60-1 just use 1 joystick and 1 button, a few using 2, and only gunsmoke needing 3. The 60-1 should play fine on the 19-1 set up.
I never said it was the best idea, it is just something I want to try and see what happens.

Make more then one control panel. Nothing worse than squeezing too much stuff on a small area.
