The effort was less than 5 minutes with my table saw narrowing a plywood shelf that was reclaimed from a kitchen remodel and attaching 1x3 pine siderails that dropped directly into the slots the arcade monitor came out of. With the plexi in place you can't even see the monitor case, just the display. The video quality is acceptable to me, and I didn't do anything irreversible to the cabinet. A quick removal of the back cover allows me to turn the monitor 90 degrees to change from a vertical to a horizontal machine.
I respect your opinion on the video quality, but in this case it is a low cost, potentially temporary machine that will be used only by immediate family, and we all are fine with the quality, especially after seeing the poor video condition of the actual machines at our local arcade! Can you say 'degauss'?
Monitor in the attached pic is in vertical configuration. You can see the 'no signal floating test pattern' in the upper right area of the monitor - near center of plexi, although the camera flash washed it out and reflected the cabinet much brighter. The monitor is almost identically sized and placed compared to original arcade monitor.
