I'm not sure if those monitors are capable of displaying the different resolutions and refresh rates that some Mame games require.  Before anyone bids on this you might want to double-check that it's going to work for you.

And you'd also better have one huge-ass cabinet! :)

My Wells Gardner VGA arcade monitor did different MAME resolutions just fine (as long as they were UNDER 640x480). Those Gateway ones can generally do anything under 800x600. You can always just set MAME to use the same resolution for everything on the off chance that the ONLY resolutions that monitor supports is those two. But it probably supports at least 320x200 (or is it 320x240), as I think that is what DOS text mode uses.
