My First Arcade Cabinet!

OverRide:
There are ways to get rid of it. I found it eaiser to go (left right, left right) and play the game then to recompile mame each time without nag's.

Well, as I said, I already made up my mind about what parts to get, but I'll keep these in mind, just in case.
I recently heard about that new OMNI2 from GGG. In your opinion, how is it compared to the Sanwa JLW?

Nephasth:
From what I understand, the OMNI2s are "JLW type" joysticks, basically JLW imitations. If you don't plan on switching your sticks from 8-way to 4-way and vice versa, I would recommend the JLWs. They're a quality stick and can be had for a reasonable sum. I would also recommend getting a stiffer spring for the JLW (or OMNI2 if you go that route), you can get those from Ultimarc (they're sold as stiffer springs for the U360s, but work great in the JLWs as well), they make the sticks feel much better in my opinion.

Gray_Area:
Is anyone else getting the 'Tupperware party' feeling here?

A what? ???

Anyway, I have a bit of a problem. My monitor is a 17" Envision LCD monitor, with dimensions of 13 5/16" x 11". However, the main problem is the size of the monitor itself. I will be arranging the monitor vertically, because almost all of my games are vertical. The original Pac-Man cabinet itself is about 24" wide. With a monitor 11" across, there's going to be more bezel than monitor! So I need to know something. What are the dimensions of an original Pac-Man monitor, in case I go PC monitor shopping? Or, is there anything else I can try, besides mounting my monitor horizontally?
