For a beginner? VGA CRT if you want authentic, LCD if you want to save space. |

VGA CRT if you want authentic, LCD if you want to save space. --- End quote --- I wish there was a way I could see the difference between LCD and CRT.. I've been playing XBOX so long I couldn't tell you the last time I played an actual standup arcade game. They usually have some at Pinball at the Zoo in Michigan, but not many and they're usually surrounded by kids so I play the pins. I guess I'm not to worried about being authentic as long as it plays and looks OK. What do I need as far as a computer? I seen a tower was on sale at Best Buy for like $279.. or do I even need something that new? |

I guess this is in the FAQ part in the sticky's.. I probably should've read there first.. |

Are you looking to build a full size cabinet, or a slim version? What are your size constraints and budget? I settled on a slim design, so lcd was a must. 4:3 lcd's are becoming rare in large sizes, so I went with a 27" remanufactured widescreen lcd that I got relatively cheap. It large enough that vertical games are not small. CraftyMech sells "minislg" which adds in scanlines to simulate the feature. Wells Gardner sells new open frame crt's for an arcade machine. Of course, if you find a used unit, you might save a few bucks. |

I have so much to learn... I was thinking I could just get a tv from Walmart.. Does it not work that way? |
