 So about 15 years ago, I built this arcade system and It's been fun It's also hasn't been used a lot and actually sat outside my house on the porch for about 10 years Which took a toll on the particle board that it's made out of I've recently Had to cut off the bottom because it was all rotted put new wood down there Read this so this is the original controller I bought for it which was a little heavier duty But I put in my own controls that light up here. I have a little more control over those and Right now it's this TV. So this TV I bought for this project when I bought it You could still buy two TVs like this, but they were going out so it was hard to find I spent like 250 bucks on this screen and It's the picture on it's going it's getting hard to read and I I hate to replace it because it's has more of that Arcade feeling being a tube monitor, but I can barely read words on the screen when I'm doing setups Trying to get retro pie installed. So the computer inside I've changed out a number of times I actually just installed retro pie on a Raspberry Pi that I wasn't using and Because I have like three Raspberry Pi's sitting around because I have no use for them So I'm using one. I did get this TV kind of for free. I It's a long story, but it didn't cost me anything and it's just about the right size I might have to build a little bit of wood frame around it, but it'll work out Well, it also will help prevent me originally I had a computer in there that had a video card that had RCA output or S video output because this TV has S video and two RCA component connections on the back for the video input and That was great back in the day when I had a computer that had that output But newer computers don't tend to have that last I had in there was a Chromebook that I had Debian running on and I had to end up buying a little $15 HDMI to RCA converter, which has actually worked pretty well, but it's extra wires I don't need especially now that I have the Raspberry Pi in there so I can take that out of the equation and Make this whole unit a lot lighter to get this TV out of here But I feel I feel wrong about replacing the tube monitor with this So what do you think? What do you think? Do you think you think I should keep this monitor until it dies? And it is slowly going The remote was destroyed from being outside So I can only turn it on and off and use the buttons here and sometimes you're not very responsive Sometimes I got to press the power button a couple times to get it to come on So I might end up having to replace it sooner than later But I was curious what you guys think should I leave the tube monitor in there Or should I switch over to the flat screen here, which has It only has one HDMI connection. That's also got the component in but it's like it does have component in but I won't be using that Yeah I was just looking at doing this and just wondering what you guys think so Let me know in the comments below And happy gaming Just for reference, this is what the screen looks like right now Just sitting there kind of pathetic But again, I'll be adding black wood here and here all around it and probably make it so that it can like snap into place Like little clips or something So yeah, I mean I could definitely fit a slightly bigger screen But again, I didn't have to pay for this monitor and it was just about the right size So we'll see I might give it a try and I can always go back, right?
