Been a lurker for a bit, now I want to build...
mybrainhurtz:
Another thing you can try is to call amusement vendors in the phonebook and ask if they have any empty cabs laying around that you can buy from them.
What finally worked for me though was to post on the following usenet groups:
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.video.arcade.marketplace/topics?hl=en
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.video.arcade.collecting/topics?hl=en
just say you are looking for an empty cab and where you are located and someone is bound to have a few laying around.
Good Luck! It took me over a month after some intensive searching to finally find a cab in my area, so just keep at it!
Oh and on the 19" monitor subject... once again, check craigslist for big crts that people are selling for cheap since many people are replacing them with lcds
gourami:
I'll keep an eye out for big monitors. I could probably come up with a 21-22" somewhere. I also do not plan on using Windows, assuming I can get ubuntu running right with mame. DOS could also work, but drivers and DOS are a nightmare.

If I could find a used Wells Gardner 25" VGA, I suppose that could work, but they are usually pretty expensive, IIRC.

What exactly are you looking to do outside of running emulators and possibly a jukebox? There isn't much else a control panel is good for.
