is this any good for a build
X and Y travel are both about 13"
The table is 25" wide, and 35" long, overall
nice "V" slides and rollers

should i keep the belt drive or use 1/2 acme screw

I'd try it as is with the belt drive. It appears to be almost ready to go, just mount the motors and a spindle. If the belts don't work out, then look into changing to screw drive.

just wondering why the side rail v-bearings are not vertical? would reduce strain or side lateral forces to the v-bearings.

What are you planning on cutting? This would probably work fine for hobby use. Probably be pretty loose tolerances. i agree with joe, the v-rails would work better if they were mounted vertical.
