I have the same cabinet as well. Mine is the "s back", not sure if yours is. Pretty sure they're the same dimensions either way. Anyway, I wanted to do the same thing. I de-cased it and put a 27" arcade chassis on it. The chassis didn't quit fit between the wooden beams previously mentioned so I moved the top one up and made a little notch in the wood for the chassis to sit. It fit perfectly, doesn't look the best but the monitor covered it up. I was super hesitant to do this as well, having zero knowledge about anything and all... I guess the point is, you can make it work! |

basically what all these replies are confirming is that if you are out for an arcadevga powered display with no hassles is to see if your true 25" tv tube will fit into a good arcade monitor chassis. if the actual tube itself has a larger or smaller (such as the 24.5, Sold as a 25") dimension, then you are s out of luck. same thing if that tube doesnt have the same pinout as your chassis. otherwise, it will work. |

If you have a good SCART input TV, then you already have a good "arcade monitor" and don't have to bother with using an old arcade monitor chassis. However, if the TV ever develops a problem, you can always get a recond or new arcade monitor chassis to match from Jomac or 8liners. |
| Zebidee:
There is more to matching tubes with arcade monitor chassis than just the number of neck pins. Refer the Monitor/video boards for more info. |
