No offense but it sounds like you don't want to listen to anybody. That is fine, but why are you asking for help then?

Game list first.

Control panel layout to suit those games well next.

Screen type, orientation and size after that- to ascertain cabinet width, height etc.

A well made cabinet is more fun to play and will get more use.

Authentic doesn't bother me too much. I'd like this to be able to use jamma and pi. and will be mostly an arcade specific machine. xmen, simpsons, nba jam, tmnt, mortal kombat.
although to be honest, I will most likely be using pi most of the time just because it's newer tech.

Will most likely need at least 4 buttons per each control, maybe 6 to be sure. but I think I can make do with 4. MK can always be taken out.

I'd like a 32" screen at least. no bigger, to avoid distortion. and no smaller than 24. like someone said, why not go bigger?

When you see a post like this on virtually every build thread I do, they get easy to ignore....sigh. almost never fails.

Ond:
You're original question was fairly general. You've ben given some advice from folks here with alot of experience. You can use a bigger monitor if you want to. What else do you want to know?

Ok well I didn't say it in another thread which means multiple people are saying the same thing to you. Generally when a group of random people are telling you the same thing it isn't them... it's you. I'm not trying to fight I'm trying to get you the info you need which means you need to be open to everyone's suggestions. Ultimately of course the decision is up to you.

When you ask the most knowledgeable people in the room (and I do NOT include myself) for advice, and a number of the best at this offer hard won wisdom (seriously!) in regard to things you specifically asked about, and you reply with a sigh...?

I can't imagine you have read enough to ask the right questions about what you want to build.
