Hello skippy. I do have a smaller flat panel which I will use until I get
hold of the right monitor.

As for interface, I have a load of arcade buttons and joysticks plumbed
into an ipac mame board. Does the job very well. I am using advance mame to
build a bootable disk image with the roms. This saves me the worry of hard
disk and switch off at the mains.
