Agreed. :)

Jimbo:
Javeryh... I will slap you if you put an LCD in this... it deserves better! :)

Laythe:
I love this build. Great work!

I'm a big fan of this design, and you're doing it justice.

LOL. You guys are right... I need to find a 17" CRT for this build. I went to the recycling place in town on Saturday and jumped into the electronics dumpster. There was so much stuff in there but no 17" monitor. There was a 17" TV but it just had a coax connector so I didn't take it. I thought about it but that was right around the time I started getting yelled at by an employee to get out of the dumpster. There were so many 4:3 LCDs in there and I am almost certain a majority of them worked. Oh well.

Any ideas other than eBay/craigslist to get my hands on an old monitor?

Thanks - appreciate the comments especially since your builds are the gold standard around here. :cheers:

My volcano buttons came over the weekend so this week I can start laying out the CP and when the vinyl wood grain gets here on Wednesday I should be off to the races (again).

I'm still tinkering with the computer - I got Launchbox up and running, and MAME working just fine (.217) with about 150 games loaded up. I will probably purchase the Bigbox license so I can use the marquee screen (and custom layouts), however, I learned that you cannot place the image wherever you want on the second screen - I have to PM a mod over at the forums and he will try and modify the xaml file, which places the image dead center as the default. Bummer. Hopefully I'll be able to see what he does with it so I can tweak it as necessary.
