: Thanks for the info, but if I use the arcade monitor, does this mean I can't run in windows? only arcade OS?

you CAN run it in Windows, I'm gonna, but you have to get one of a few specific video cards... look down the messages a bit, there's a really good suggestion about the Matrox G400 being used with Windows and an arcade monitor.

: I am planning on using hacked sidewinders for the control panel.

only issue you're gonna run into here is you still have to have keyboard controls to navigate the front end. With ArcadeOS you can use the joystick to move through the list, but not with Mame32 or StretchMame. It'd probably be just as easy and not cost much more to go with an IPac for convenience, unless you've already got the sidewinders or you're gonna get 'em from computergeeks.com
