What Videocard..
Steve Johnson:
I just completed building a new mame box last evening and went with an ATI All-In-Wonder 128 Pro and a Toshiba 27A41 27" TV.
FWIW, CompUSA has these on sale including a $50.00 rebate which brings the price down to $80 + tax.
I'm certainly no expert on the subject but had read a number of reviews from other cab builders that had used these same components.
All looks good from a straight out of the box setup. I'm not as focused on 3D PC games on the same cab so I can't really speak to the quality of how this card will handle those situations in comparison to higher priced ATI (or other mfr) models.
YMMV.

Brant:
Thanks for the tip on the TV :)
Seriously, I think this will be a dedicated cab for MAME, although I'm sure I'll fire up the usual IE tyep stuff on it from time to time...and use it as a MP3 jukebox perhaps.......
I have a Geforce3 right now but not with TV Out....
So basically ATI is a sure thing (choice dependent on how much 3D power I want to push..ie: Raedon, etc) or I could try for a Geforce3/4 but that may/may not suck due to chips.
Thanks everyone!
