Oddly enough, I've recently been feeling strange urges to build my own
mame cabinent.  

Although I was thinking along the lines of starting from scratch
rather than an existing cabinent.  And using a mac and linux rather
than a PC.

Perhaps working in a method to use one or more consoles as well (for
games not supported by MAME but with a PS or DC port).

Also, what are the benefits of using a 21" computer moniter versus a
TV?  I suspose that for emulating vector display a high res would be
better. 

I don't know why I keep thinking of this.  It's not like I have space
to put such a cabinent.  I do pretty much have everything I need other
than a monitor and the actual wood though.
