Wow, this is great. I played around with MAME way back in 1996. Then I had 2 kids, got busy, yada yada, didn't keep up. Now, I am totally psyched about making a cabinet. But since I've been out of the loop, I need some help.

First off, anyone here in the Orlando area?

Next: anyone want to volunteer to be an email mentor? I know I will have questions that pop up.

I have 4 computers currently, and will be dedicating one to the MAME machine. I will be using a 17" computer monitor (remember, I have 2 kids - so as little out of pocket as possible is the goal). Is this monitor ok, or should I use a TV? I just can't buy a Wells-Gardener or anything else.

What video card should I use? I have a Voodoo2, Voodoo3, and TNT2 at my disposal. Or should I get one of those Blade 3D cards?

I guess that's it for now. But there will be more questions as I progress. I want to get a MAME machine humming before I get the cabinet. Then I'll be asking a whole new round of questions about the controller setup.

Thanks, and I'll keep in touch!
