I'm looking into purchasing a super gun. is it possible to hook one up to a VGA monitor? Would it be possible to hook a PCB directly up to a VGA monitor?
Supergun or PCB to VGA?

No, not directly.
A standard VGA PC monitor will be expecting sync signal with a frequency of 31.5 khz and most PCB's along with most games consoles that can output rgb will put out a sync of approximately 15.7 khz.
You have 2 options if your hell bent on using a monitor tho. Either get one that supports multi sync .. a lot of modern Plasma and LCD screens that have a VGA connector will do this
OR
Get yourself an "upscan" convertor or scandoubler like this:

Thatll do the trick if you REALLY want to use a standard PC VGA Monitor.

P.S .. and before anyone else points out, yes , there are a few more modern games that DO output a vga compatible signal but nowhere near the number that output regular RGB+SYNC.

We were talking a little about it here. Don't know how well it'll work, but I think I'm gonna pick one up to try it out. This CGA to VGA converter will work in a supergun if it'll work in cab.
And it's alot cheaper then other upscan converters I've seen -- 90$.
