As far as mounting, I like what you did but I most likely would keep it in the case and set it in the cab that way.

Keep in mind that keeping it in the case will make your cab quite wide (mine cab is at 30", with the tv it would probably be at least 32").
There are also s-video inputs on the side of the tv as well.
Flake:
Well mines not 100% completed yet but its getting up there.
Killer Instinct cabinet at auction (monitor doesnt work and no game board) $78
Computer bought off E-bay (Pentium D 2.8 GHZ, 3.25 GB Ram, 250 GB HD, NVidia 8400GS - hate this card) $420
Klipsch Promedia 2.1 off E-bay $88
Toshiba 27" Flat-screen CRT found on Craigslist w/component inputs (that consequently are useless at this point due to video card)$150
Tools/supplies such as paint, bondo, sanding pads, marquee light from Lowes $136
2P control panel from Arcades R Us w/ upgraded spinner and plexi overlay (havent received it yet - last major piece) - not sure if I should post cost
Rom set $40
Smartstrip $40
Winzip software (wouldnt have purchased but for this project) $30
T-molding $16
Marquee (not yet ordered) $30
DVI to component adapter (which turned out to be worthless - see comments about NVidia card) $18
Maximus Arcade (not activated yet though) $25
Total cost $1,071 without adding in control panel cost but I'm sure you can ballpark that one.
Bottom line is I think I'll end up about $100 over budget cost. Plus taking me WAY more time than originally anticipated but I do enjoy it (think the wife is about sick of it though - hehe).

Since my wife can read, I refuse to commit to any numbers that could incriminate me in a divorce court.
