Does anyone know where I can get a 19" monitor with a VGA port that will fit in a Donkey Kong cabinet (vertically, of course). I want to buy something new and I'm looking at the tri-res monitor that ArcadeShop sells HERE (http://www.arcadeshop.com/parts.htm) (scroll down about 1/2 way). A picture of it is attached - I see that it has a horizontal mount but presumably I could remove that bracket and use the mounting holes on the sides to mount it vertically, right?
The reason I want the VGA port is because I'm going to be running MAME inside and I want to connect it to a computer.
Thanks!! :cheers:

I was just talking to a fellow about mounting one sideways today and he said that sometimes you can run into some issues doing that he said when they usually ask so they can make sure it will run right mounted vertical.
Can I ask why not use a computer monitor since it will be running mame?

Thanks. I want this thing to be as authentic as possible (but still have the ability to play a bunch of other 4-way one-button games so I'd really like to get an arcade monitor with a VGA port. I read that DK cabs are a little narrow and it's tough to get a horizontal mount monitor into a DK vertically but I bet someone around here has done that...
