That's an option too. I like the idea of an easy interface to the PC since I am new to the game.

Your Robotron came out great. I'm thinking of bringing this back to Robotron. I like the overall look of it.

If it was running Rastan and a Neo-Geo (most likely coverted from Rastan to a 1-slot PCB as multi-slot Neo-Geo uses non-JAMMA wiring.) then it should already have a JAMMA harness. You'll obviously have to check the harness's condition. Does it have a power supply? You could be playing JAMMA games in it in no time if everything's OK.
It's sad knowing that there are people burning cabs.

I tried a 21" monitor and it was a tad too big out the back. A 19" PC monitor would be perfect size though. Of course, an arcade monitor would be the best, but it all depends on your budget and your level of expertise...

I have a 21" crt in mine which is the same type of cabinet. I just just a small rectangular hole where it stock out. If you are able to find a shorter depth one, it should fit nicely. A 19 in will definitely fit, but it's a bit smaller.
