I'm assuming you mean, "without having to ask how to use it".
This is why it's vital for a more simple CP. The less buttons, the less intimidating it'll look, the less need to figure out what does what.
I personally don't like having mame function buttons. IMO it takes away from the arcade experience. Things like Pause (pausing an arcade game??), Back, Enter, a dedicated button for hyper-spinning? But hey, some people like that granularity of control, and there is no mistake this clearly is a Mame cabinet.
I'd go with the bezel mounting for these buttons if you're going to keep 'em. The cleaner the CP space, the better.
Many folks have gone this route, Kman mounted his to his bezel:
Then of course there's Pixelhugger's fine work:

I really like the look of this cab, like you I was inspired to make my own by seeing Martijn's awesome SF cab.
I'm fairly useless with tools, even tho my dad's a builder and would have all the required tools. :lol
So instead a mate of a mate is giving me his old cabinet that is just sitting in his garage FOR FREE! Can't wait.
I am very keen to see how u do the art for this cab tho, to see if i can steal some ideas ;)
Good luck, can't wait for more updates.

**facepalm**
Can't wait to see how u do the menu buttons on the bezel, i think i'll be doing the same.
