Thanks, the controls were selected by the buyer. It makes a nice contrast actually.
I use PC monitors in all my machines. I went the ArcadeVGA route once and wasn't happy with the results. If you're using your cab for just Mame it's ok, although Vector games look lousy.
My machines are multi-use. You can surf on them, run the jukebox program, play PC games, etc. For me, a regular arcade monitor is unacceptable for these things.
One of the new Hybrid monitors would be the best of both world I guess, if you've got the bucks.
