So I have a hollow arcade cabinet (pictured below) and am planning to mount a monitor in it (obviously). I am thinking I will be going will an LCD monitor. The monitor that originally went in this was a 27" CRT. It is an old "Wrestlefest" cabinet according to the stickers on the back from the manufacturer. What sized LCD would I want to go with? And how would I go about mounting a monitor, especially if it's not the same size?

Add a board in there. Some people screw the LCD to the board, some people like me add a small cheap wall mount. Your call. Size wise you'd have to measure the width you have and then go to your local electronics store and find something that fits.

How would I screw the LCD to a board?

With screws. :dunno
Using the VESA mount pattern on the back of the monitor, of course. ;D

Your monitor bay is taller than it is wide. Mount the largest LCD you can vertically. The horizontal games will look normal but the vertical games will really pop.
