Just thinking out loud here but do you think Atari considered making PP cockpits with a 25" monitor? I just finally got an original bezel for mine today (thank you TonyH, super packing job) and looking at the artwork out of the cab looks likes it is setup for a 25. The cardboard between the glass and the monitor really is quite large so do you think maybe it was made with the idea of a bigger monitor? Just for the record I am thinking of dropping a 25 in mine now and making a custom shroud.


Edit: Damn, misspelled the title and I can't change it.

My cockpit had a 25" in it (with a Road Riot 4wd board). The monitor shelf had to be cut and 2 chunks of the ceiling are knocked out (not all the way through), but they got one to fit. I haven't really considered using the 25". It's not working currently which is probably the main reason I haven't considered it, but I'll probably just stick with my 19". It would be interesting to see you post about your results though. :)

Never considered it, but it would be cool. I think the extreme bevel of the monitor shroud makes a 19 inch look bigger.

I am happy with the 19, but I would think a 25 would be cool too. Ask the Star Wars cockpit owners what they think.

I was just thinking there is a whole lot of open glass there and since some Star Wars had a 25" maybe they had considered doing a 25" PP. I don't have any 25" monitors right now but am considering it.
