Someone's bound to have an old small monitor around here somewhere (on the boards). I know I've got an old 15incher im using in my mame cab, a lil small... but it wont cost me anything...can always be upgraded later anyway...i've also seen a couple 10 inchers on ebay from time to time pretty damn cheap...

http://bizsyscon.com has cheap 9" Vga and SVGA monitors. I think some of them are brand new. I recall seeing some new in box when I visited their warehouse.

I've seen 13" arcade monitors go on Ebay for $20, but none recently. I think you may wanna keep your eyes open for some.

Their are a bunch of Axion 9" monitors on ebay right now. Starting bid is $1. Most of them have sold for around $15. Every once and a while someone overbids to the $25 range. If you put a max bid on one for $15.5x, you should be fine. If you get outbid, just go for another one.
Shipping was $15 (seems a bit high to me)

I've seen one or two go for $10 from some other sellers, but they were charging $20/$25 for shipping. And they were untested, sold-as-is.

Not my auction (I just bought one from them though)

You may want to make sure no else from the forum is bidding on the same one. Fortunately, I think I have enough  ;D

School district, county, state, and city auctions are great places to get tons of cheap monitors.

If you still need one, you can buy mine. Pick it up (Troy, Michigan) and save on shipping. 9" axion SVGA. Works fine, even on its side  ;)

I was going to make a mini-vertical bartop, but lost interest. Though, it did look kinda cool playing pacman and donkey kong with it filling up the screen.
