--- Quote from: keilmillerjr on March 10, 2013, 11:00:47 am ---Finding a 22/23" 4:3 lcd monitor was proving to be difficult. So I decided to get a 27" wide screen and deal with the letter boxing. It should still be large enough to enjoy vertical games as I tested mame on my 27" iMac and it seems decent.

Items purchased:
Acer 27" LCD Monitor VGA DVI-D HDMI | S271HL (factory refurbished to brand new condition)
IT GOLDEN TEE SILVER STRIKE COIN DOOR OVER / UNDER STYLE 2 LOCKS / COIN BUCKET (used, looks to be in very good but not perfect condition)

A 22/23" is a bit expensive.  A 21" 4:3 is pretty common though ($75 on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEC-MULTISYNC-LCD2170NX-BK-21-MONITOR-W-O-STAND-/271163726543?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item3f229e1acf)

Choosing a premade mac is easy. There are usually only three different options of a specific type of computer.

Building a computer is a whole different ballgame. Can anyone make any suggestions of a motherboard/cpu/video for me? I honestly feel like I have little idea what I should be going after.
