  > That sounds like an awesome cabinet Why, yes! Yes it is. :-) If it sounds good, you should consider one of your own. My goal was not the retro nostalgia of my recreating my parent's shitty 1970s living room TV but instead creating a cabinet that would allow me to explore these games each in their authentically correct resolution and frame rate and at the maximum quality and fidelity possible. That's why I chose an analog RGB monitor and the last, fastest GPU ever made with a native analog RGB signal path (R9 380X). I run a special version of the MAME emulator called GroovyMAME made just enable technically correct native display via analog signals on a CRT. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,52.0.html http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/board,52.0.html I created this cabinet over ten years ago, before emulation pixel shaders were a thing. If you don't want to go to the effort, expense and time of acquiring and calibrating a high-end CRT, good pixel shaders can now get you >98% of the way there much easier and cheaper.
