"Theres a problem i wonder if anyone else has come accross when doing this, in some games at some resolutions,
the top of the screen goes a bit wavy (horizontally) and fiddling with the monitor controls only improves it a little."

I responded at the time about having this same problem. I went to the PC2JAMMA FAQ page and found alist of known working video
cards. I picked up an ATI Rage II+ card and the problem has virually vanished. It's barely noticable that it does it all all any more.
Even better is that it allows the 640x480 mode, so the vector games look great.

So look at that 'known working' list and pick up a new card! I don't even think I'll need to make a rotating monitor any more!
