Xbox with 19 " U3100 screen? Go or no go?

[Gaston77]

On the recommendation of other forum members, I would like to post the following again. Maybe you guys can help me with these questions....

Here's the deal. I got an European PAL Xbox which runs on 220V. I want to buy a Wells Gardner U3100 monitor straight from the US. I have built the cabinet +  controls (X-arcade's DIY kit). The questions I have are the following

1. What is the easiest way to convert the Xbox out signal to the AV signal from the U3100? The Xbox has a scart cable out, the U3100 has a DB15 cable. I would think the best way to go is XGA converter box ; http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=13&products_id=3235& . Correct?

2. Voltage. Will the U3100 work on 220V or will I need to get a stepup converter (which are dead heavy and expensive as hell).

3. PAL Xbox on VGA CRT. What is the quality of the screen? Is it worth buying the U3100 in this case? Or can I just as well strip my Tv from the casing and build that in?

4. What is the better choice for Xbox Arcade monitor; VGA or CGA? And why?

5. Are the Xbox2Jamma kits any good? Such as http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/jammatimekits.htm

Sorry if these are noob questions. Help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys.
Cheers,

I went with a regular TV in my xbox arcade machine, so no help there.  You could get a XGA converter (a friend of mine has one, he likes it) and do OK with it.

I used ultimarc's iPac + xbox adapter in my machine.  It's worked okay, I hear the new one is better in that it allows use of the triggers.  I've never gotten the second control port to work properly either with it which causes some problems.

I had to figure out most of my xbox modding etc out myself as there aren't too many web pages for xboxes in arcade machines out there.

Best of luck.
