I'm going with this monitor:

At 16:10 aspect ratio and 25.5" it should be a decent enough size. Since it's 16:10, regular 4:3 aspect ratio games would be equivalent to viewing them on a 23" monitor. Put it behind some tinted glass and I think it's going to look amazing. I've got to give up some authenticity but for me gameplay is more important.

I start work this weekend modifying the cabinet for the new control panel. I may even get some sanding and priming done too. :)

Let us know about that monitor.  It shows that it is 23.5" wide, which would just fit in my cabinet without any modifications.  I am currently using a 20" 4:3 LCD which is nice, but could always go a little bigger.
SNAAKE:
is that a multi sync monitor or 1080p native?
Todd H:
It's a 1920 x 1200 16:10 LCD computer monitor.
Todd H:
Today was a big day for me, as my Ryobi router, slot cutter, arbor, and t-molding arrived. The cabinet is pretty much sanded and patched. I just need to build a mount so that the mameroom control panel can be attached to the cabinet and cut a new t-molding slot. This is all getting done Saturday. After that, it's primer and paint time.

I've also got pixelhugger designing me a marquee. Can't believe things are moving along.

Hopefully you've got some time off to enjoy your machine!  Post some pics when you're ready!
