I decided to post this up here to get some of your inputs. This is my project that Ive been working on since last Sunday.
Its a MK II cab that I got for free. The original artwork has been painted over but I plan to fix that sometime soon.
Whole project is here:

Why the PC monitor?
-
Well I currently don't have a chassis for the arcade monitor or a 20"+ TV so its temporary. As soon as I find either Ill pop it in there and get a bezel for it. Until then the 17" monitor will just sit where it is (on the original monitor mounting bars).

Giod’s Arcade Machine Emulator: AKA PROJECT G.A.M.E
Well a few days ago I posted a want ad on Craigslist for a arcade cabinet to build a MAME machine. In reply I got a call about a free Killer Instinct 2 cabinet! So I scheduled a time and went and picked it up. This is what I got:

Well after I got it into my house and into the game room I started looking over what I got. I ended up with:
1. A Mortal Kombat II Cabinet with black paint over the original art, no CP, and no marquee.
2. A 25″ WG 7400 tube (no chassis and a new one is $95 so I guess I wont be using that :( ).
3. A coin door with working lights, mech, and counter.
4. coin bucket
5. Florescent light fixture with burnt out bulb
6. Isolation transformer
7. lots of wire
8. the side of a computer case!?!?
Pretty good for free ey?
Well I got started to work and removed all the useless crap.
