Should I go with a horizontal 25" or try to rotate a 19" monitor? That was the million dollar question for me.
I decided to go with a horizontal 25". Neither solution is ideal. Here's to hoping that a magical, heretofore undiscovered, new arcade monitor video mode can be developed out of thin air....

: : : I'm basing it on LuSiD's cab (Thanks a ton LuSiD!).
: : : It'll use a real arcade monitor. I'll put in a PC, PSX, SNES (www.gamesx.com has lots of info on how to get rgb out of most every system.)
: : : PC:
: : : Power Ramp and interact 3D program pad (I wish I could still find the program pad!) and VGA2TV drivers for DOS.
: : : PSX:
: : : A couple of the cheapest gamepads I can find, a hacked Nyko AV adapter (has a pass through port)
: : : Snes:
: : : I'm using this for the gun games it has.

: : : Control Panel:
: : : 2 player-player 1 has 8 buttons(to play Quake) player 2 has the usual 6
: : : Wico ball type leaf (4 way) joys or Happ supers (most games I use, a 4 way joy would be better)
: : : I'm thinking about reflecting the monitor off a mirror for various reasons (ie added look of depth, looks flat)
