Dedicated Mortal Kombat 9
Silas (son of Silas):
Funny you should post this as I was thinking about the feasibility of doing this myself. I really liked the MK series 'back in the day' but had no interest in it on a console. When I saw that E3 clip it did make me think of buying an otherwise dead cab and shoving a 360 in it.
I came to the conclusion it is probably something I would do when 2nd hand 360s are as cheap as the original XBOX is now and I can pick the game up for a song on eBay. I'll watch this with great interest!

that large 3d button more than likely mounts in a standard button hole, which seems to be located where the normal MK3 run button was.

the large button is mounted in a small hole, it's actually a little smaller than the standard button hole, I could not fit a standard button into it, but it was close. and it is located pretty darn close to where the run button is on my MK4 panel, so yeah, drill it out a bit and you could easily put a standard run button there.

after looking around on newegg for an hour or so I decided on a 24" 1080p acer LCD that was like $200. it was close to 23" wide with the borders which leaves 1 inch on each side to work with. I was trying to find the biggest viewable monitor which was under 25" wide with the borders, but coulnd't really find much. there are a lot of 27" monitors that are around 25.5" wide, which is .5 too much, it's too bad because that extra 3" viewable would be nice. the 24" should do though, it's close enough to the original 25" that was in the cabinet and should be big enough standing right up to it.
it had a 2ms response rate and HDMI, so should work out. not sure how I'll mount the thing yet.

did some work on this today, it's coming together!
