Ok, let me see if I understand. Maybe I can clear everything up.
You have a DDR machine, but you want to put a PC with Stepmania inside it. You want to play Stepmania on your DDR machine. You are afraid of damaging your monitor because the sync rates are different in your PC and your arcade monitor. You don't have an ArcadeVGA video card because they are expensive so you want to use Powerstrip.
Does that all sound correct?

I built a stepmania machine for our arcade. I used power strip, but the video was a lil ugly looking. It wont damage the monitor, just wont be too too crisp. I use an ArcadeVGA and it works great. The other issue you may run into is mapping the arrows. Most machines will not work with a j-pac. If you have any issues with that IM me on either sn: TPMWR or TPMWR2 . As I said, our arcade (Tokyo Game Action) has a stepmania machine as our machine.
