The main reason is cost.  I was able to snag a 20" PC monitor for free and am going to see if I'm satisfied with that solution.  What's the benefit of using an arcade monitor?  I don't know much about that.  Thanks.

Hiub1:
The advantage of using an arcade monitor is that the picture will be faithful to the original. Look on the Wiki, there is a load of information there about arcade monitors. As nice as your cabinet is coming out, I think that it deserves to have a nice arcade monitor, but you can always make do with the PC monitor until you can scrounge up enough cash for the arcade one. You can pick up a brand new 19'' monitor from 8 Liners for $110 plus shipping of around $50, so you are looking at around $160 for a good one.

wilef:
Alright,
Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at that.

wilef:
Got the locks in the mail and installed the coin door lock.  Just need to drill the hole in the back door for the door lock (which is a little thicker and deeper for the depth of the wood).  I hope to get a lot done this coming weekend.

SithMaster:
what type of bolts did you use for the coin door?  i have a nintendo one as well and they are square which i think is odd.

and for your retainer was it custom cut in the home depot for the length and did they drill holes?
