Sorry if I confused with the subject title,

I'm building a Mini Galaga / PacMan cab, and I really want it to be accessible to the most amount of ROMs possible.

Have any of you guys that have built a Mini cab found a happy medium?

I love Galaga, PacMan etc, but I also love T&F!

I would like to mount a monitor horizontally, but whats the biggest size monitor I should aim for?

Any advice would be much appreciated, as it would for my wife... $:-\$

I put a 19" LCD monitor in mine. There was no way to fit a 19" CRT in the smaller cabinet (mounted horizontally) and I didn't want to sacrifice screen size. I decided to make a vertical cab because most of the "classics" are vertical. The few games I really want to play that are horizontal I'll just suffer with the black bars.

Next question should be where to mount the joystick?
