Planning for New System - What monitor/ card to use?
« on: November 15, 2005, 09:07:06 pm »
Ok, I am new to building a mame cabinet and have about 2 weeks in reasearch thus far. I am trying to plan my system extremeley well before I buy anything. My background is printed circuit board design and programming, so this seem like a dream project for me. I am looking for advice on what is the best monitor/ card combo, assuming I have a an unlimted budget.

My current thoughts are to buy:

Wells Gradner 27" D9200
ArcadeVGA Video card from www.ultimarc.com

Any comments appreciated.

From what i heard, thats the best combination right there.
