This seems to be getting very complicated.  Why don't you do what the
pro's do?? 

Buy a game cabinet/power supply/monitor combo from a distributor.  He'll
have games that are not very popular, and which have controls appropriate
for your defender game.  I bet you could get a case for $200 or less,
which is less than you're going to pay for some fancy monitor.

Look in your phone book, find a game distributor, and tell him you have
a board for defender and you need a cabinet.  I bet he'd love to set you
up.
