Damn that's pretty hardcore. Tell him if he wants some cheap LCDs to use to let me know :P
Wait till we get our projector up with the htpc/360/ps3/home theater setup.
I'm gonna get fucked up and play the original mario brothers on a 120" screen to relive the old days.

Re: MAME gamers check out what my brother sent me.
heres a link to the site if any of you are interested. http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade.htm his name is postalp123
im going to build one and put it in my bonus room. i think it whould be baller to have galaga running in the background.
last time i stayed at his place we had a ball playing marvel vs capcom for hours. nothing like playing oldschool games liike the way they where meant to be.
as far as monitors go, he just uses an old tv set with a cheapo $40 grafixs card and it works like a charm. he says the whole settup costs around $250 not including the pc or tv. but thats a settup with the trackball and twister controllers ( guerilla war, contra) so im sure one can be built for a good amount less.
