Is it an old style monitor, that is like an old CRT telly, i.e. quite large compared to the slim stuff of today?

Is 19" the biggest monitor size that can be accommodated, or could you go a size or two up, 21" perhaps?

It's an office LCD. 19" 4:3 .perfect .they do a larger bezal to fit 16:9 wide-screen but that's pointless because all retro games are 4:3 .As for installing a crt .prob prob wouldn't fit.

What kit and buttons did you order. I bought a pi last year with the intention of doing this but haven't got round to it. Probably as the wife would wonder where I was going to put it.

I ordered this one.
FLAT PACK 19" 2 PLAYER BAR TOP ARCADE CABINET KIT - B19C. Because it's a bartop its way easier to put somewhere around the house.

The buttons and joystick s and wiring looms all came as a bundle I recall. Oh and don't forget the 2 joystick to usb adapter.
