That's what I've done before and it has worked out well. The motherboard plate (part of the case that the mobo attaches to) is typically held in place by rivets that can be separated cleanly from the rest of the case.

I just bent some aluminum flat bar to hold the cards:

Just go get a small, thin piece of wood (1x1?) and stand it straight up beside your card's screw holes.  Pre drill the holes and screw your cards into them just as if you were mounting it in a computer case.

My MAME Cabinet has a PC motherboard mounted to the side and has three cards plugged into it (video card, NIC, and sound card). It's been like that for a year or so and I've never had a problem.

Yep, I took the case and dremelled away most of it, but left part of the rear of the case to support the power supply and the cards.
