You might want to think about using a bigger monitor, I would suggest using a 25" or 27" TV is you go with a TV, especially if you are going to buy one.  Obviously size is a consideration and your cab should be planned accordingly.  Also, you might want to consider adding 2 more buttons for player 1&2 credits.    As far as cost, there are ways to cut corners- use what you have lying around(TV, old computer, wood etc), you can buy a cheap non-working game at auction for as little as $25.  Some come with working arcade monitors.  Use the resources of the site for ideas.

Welcome to the hobby and enjoy.  I envy you starting a new cab.  Have fun with it and spending time planning will save you time and money in the long run.

Cheers

Actually, I just came back from the thread you posted about that and saw that there was a new reply to my thread.

Very useful BTW! Lots of pictures ;D! Though it would be nice if prices and such were documented as well.
