I just noticed something: Chun-Li's outfit is red in that one picture. I wonder if this could be a weird bootleg board or something. :dunno

Could be, but I don't think so. Then again, you never can tell what you are going to get on Ebay.
The Chugnut:
The original Street Fighter II arcade versions all had Chun Li with a red portrait, yet blue cloathing in game. It wasn't changed to blue until Champion Edition.

Where did you get your monitor and how much was it?
Also, How are you going to fix that CP. That's one unique button layout!

I got the monitor on Ebay. I snagged it for only $165. $235 with shipping. It was quite the deal. I got lucky. As far as the control panel goes, I am going to lay a thin piece of sheetmetal over the top that I will cut to fit and drill new holes. The new overlay coupled with the new plexiglass peice that will have to be cut also will hide the fact that there is a slight "raise" to the panel. Yeah, as soon as I saw that layout, I knew I had my work "cut out" for me.

You and I are again in the same boat. I removed my control panel took out all of the controls. The left stick was a couple inches too far toward the middle for me to use its holes, so the thing's looking like swiss cheese right now. Someone in another thread suggested taking it to a metal shop and paying them to "make a blank" out of it. Can't be too hard to cut out the entire button area and weld in a rectangular piece of sheet metal to replace it. Another low-budge option is to use what you have with 1/2" MDF reinforcement from the bottom. Longer Carriage bolts will hold it all together.
Also on my wish list is to have some metal shop guys make me a couple identical CPs that will hold a trackball/spinner and other options, or just make my own mega giant CP out of wood. ...Decisions, decisions.

For swiss cheese panels, check the wiki for links to a couple of different articles on cleaning them up:
