Yep, and I would recommend using a 3 prong plug/cord. And you asked about it earlier, but keep your AC wires on the two seperate AC terminals, otherwise you'll create a short and pop a circuit breaker at best.

Okay great, l'm ready to roll then thanks man. Can you tell me what having a 3 prong cord would do for me?

Nephasth:
It provides a safe path to ground in the event of a short, i.e. through that wire instead of your body... You also have to make sure metal components of your cab are earth grounded as well; control panel (if metal), monitor frame, coin door. Just run a wire to a screw/bolt on of those components to your earth ground.

lilshawn:
having the frame of the monitor properly grounded will also help cut down on the static build up. keep your fingers from getting zapped and keep the dust from accumulating at breakneck speeds.
