[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Fussbett"]was just for prototype testing purposes. The actual MAME monitor is a 21" Mitsubishi I bought used for $90. So far it's awesome. I also like just looking at it and imagining the 1997 pricetag of $2000 or whatever.[/quote] It also helps to emulate the weight of the cab. Nice and sturdy. 21 inches for $90, though... Your land is a Monitor Paradise. [/quote] Very pessimistic! <a href="http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=so&sbrftog=1&catref=C6&from=R10&satitle=21%22+monitor&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&fspt=1&sadis=50&fpos=80201&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=">You could go buy a cheap 21" right now</a>. This is why your Samsung 750s is so laughable. I thought the weight would be nice too, but the downside is that the cab is now very top heavy. Especially in a Robotron or Black Widow, I tend to sway the cabinet, as if there is a strong wind. I'll definitely have to add braces throughout the inside. [quote]I suspect that will look perfect with the Space Invaders monitor bezel, which just might infringe a bit on the monitor's real estate when you assemble it. You'd want a border there. [/quote] You suspect correctly. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/Fussbett/tmolding.jpg" border="0" alt="t-molding"></a> ...but when you're standing at the controls, you can see 100% of the screen anyway. Installing the T-molding was a really gay experience, and I'm still not happy with the results, which look less than professional close-up. One day I might rip it all off and fix it, but likely not, because I'm pretty sick of the whole adventure by now. I tell myself that this is only the prototyped control panel layout, but I'm sure I won't bother fixing it either. It'll be a great project for my retirement.[/quote]
