Frame with diagonal dropouts... fixie?

Hey,
I'm interested in getting or building a fixie bike, and I've been told that if I build one, I'm going to want to get a frame with horizontal dropouts. I have 2 bikes, 1 has vertical dropouts, the other has diagonal dropouts.

I was wonder if it'd be possible to convert the bike with the diagonals...

Also, if I wanted to covert the vertical one.. would the half chain links work well enough, or is it tough to achieve the right tension without getting an offset bottom bracket?
