Muticades being allowed makes this a really boring question.

For me, my Moon Patrol and my Asteroids.

1 giant ---smurfing--- gaudy pedestal cabinet with every single control possible , especially tron sticks, star wars yokes, at least 3 trackballs, and mother lovin pinball buttons!
I'd then sell it to Chance Johnson  and he can make a video about it and spam facebook and KLOV about it.

Emulator cabinet isn't a destination.  It's a tool to help you find what you really like.  I really like shumps and beat'em ups.  I know this, because this is what I bothered to configure the pc for.  I thought it would be cool to play fighters, but never bothered to configure the pc to make the multi fighter "work,"  so it was always an underwhelming experience.

Another example.  I bought a bunch of the pinballfx2 tables on steam, because I thought it would be cool to play them on a multipin.  never got that set up.

If you need to scratch an itch to build something, and need to build 2, build a multigame cab in horizontal, and one in vertical. 

The most versatile unit is a pedestal.  Mount the TV to a wall or pole and roll out the pedestal when you need it.  Save your space for dedicated machines. 

 :soapbox:

And another thing.  Now isn't the time to fret over artwork.  Paint it black and start playing games!  A theme will present itself when you start playing games.
