Kevin Rudd is buying me a PC for an arcade cabinet! What do I tell him to get?

In Belgium there is a guy, the Stalion of Walone, that lives on baby bonuses. He runs a business of a family with 3 wives and 27 kids on just baby/kid bonuses and 3 unemployment fees (for the 3 wives). His oldest kid is the same age as his youngest wife, but that is where the comparison with Fritzlness ends. He's pretty decent for the rest.

Polygamy is okay over there, huh?

It's like a 14.5 inch vertical 4:3 screen, where the 24 inch 1920x1200 makes vertical ones at least 16 inch. 1080 screens are made to ask people more for tinier screens in crisis time! Hey! It has the FULLHD awesomeness badge on it, so you must buy it! We 1920x1200 dumbheads just like it to see the complete full hd movie with the subtitles under the picture instead of on top of Naomi Watts her breasts!

Thanks for that info, unfortunately I am using an existing 1920*1080 screen, its not part of this purchase. But now I know that, if (when) I make a second, I will remember this. Or make a dedicated vertical. (Off-topic: what aspect ratio is best for dedicated vertical?)
Blanka:
For vertical cab with LCD you best find a HP 2065. It's S-IPS, so great angles, real 4:3 (not 5:4 as the 19 inchers) and 20 inch vertical is about the same as the old 19 inch ones.

Alright I know this has been asked many many times before but, just like Blanka, I'm in the process of building a CP and very soon a cab.
Does any one know of a way to find out what the min requirements are for Mame ROMs? I know it changes just about every time a new version of MAME is released but there must be a data base or something that lists min CPU, Vid Card, RAM (Qty and Speed) requirements to obtain 60 fps for a given ROM. :soapbox:
In the famous words of Ben Stein's character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off ... "anyone ... anyone ..." (I'm looking for a better answer other then "the Declaration of Independence") ;D
