Just relax. Take a deep breath. Okay?

All arcade monitors don't really have cables, its just wires hanging there. So there is no "cable" that will connect easily.

However, you can easily splice an ordinary VGA cable, and connect it to those wires. At least that what I have read. You don't need a card with video out so much as a video card that will work with the ArcadeOS front end and MAME, which both have a tweaked video mode that will support the low scanrates required by arcade monitors.

Check out Mr. Salty's cabinet for an example of this. The best page for info is IMHO the PC2JAMMA page. These are both in the links section of this web page. And read up on the info on this web page too. Its all there, you just have to dig through it.

Good Luck
