Title: WANTED: 19" VGA Arcade Monitor
Post by: jmh139 on January 04, 2005, 05:44:03 pm: I need a 19" VGA arcade monitor like the Eygos, or WG monitors. I have several 21" ones, but cannot get them to fit in a cocktail cabinet. Anyone have one forsale?

Thanks
Jay

The casing on an arcade monitor is different then a computer monitor... a 21 inch computer monior might be able to squeeze in. Im assuming hes taking about not having enough space to fit the back of the monitor in, not the screen size.

isnt that correct or am i off my rocker?
