OK maybe $100 isn't so bad... Now that I know this I will definitely talk myself into the $100 by the end of the week for sure haha. I'm using an old PC in this build so I want something easy. An old 17" Dell CRT should do the trick.

Bummer. Hopefully I'll be able to see what he does with it so I can tweak it as necessary.

Couldn't you just make all your marquees an image the native res of the panel, and then locate the visible part wherever the heck you want?

Like, if you're using a 1280x1024 panel, make a 1280x1024 black image with the 1280x300 (or whatever) marquee wherever you want. To get good results you're going to be photoshopping the heck out of all the marquees to make them fit your aspect ratio anyway. Bigbox can put that fullscreen image "centered" or at 0,0 or anything it wants, and you can have complete control over the result, no patch or config hackery required.
