As far as running it.....I would leave the back off it. All arcade monitors are "open frame" anyway....and you should already have a back on your arcade cabinet (I built a few MAME machines in the last 20 years or so...I was part of the original MameDev team). For cooloing of the whole cabinet, I'd put a 120mm fan up towards the top of the back cover. The same sort you get at Fry's when you are building a custom gaming computer. a 120mm fan is big enough to run at a low RPM, and you won't hear a "computer fan" running.
As far as the "Velocity Scanning Modulation" thing is....I have no idea what that is. I'd say that if you have a good picture already, and happy with the scanlines, rate, etc.....I'd probly leave it alone. A CRT is deffinately the way to go in an arcade cabinet if you want to stay loyal to that nostalgic look. I converted my Donkey Kong upright to a 22" LCD....and was still able to do pretty good with MAME's video effect command line switches. Your mileage may vary of course...especially if this is an actual arcade board and not a MAME cabinet (MAME would be "Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator" running on USUALLY a PC)
