That defeats the purpose of using mame though. I think you could have a badass cab using an xbox and just xbox games, but to use it for mame specific would be a waste. Playing MK Armagedon and some Samurai Warriors would be lots of fun on an arcade. One of these days I might drop my xbox in a cab, but it will probably be for driving.

I was looking at the Xbox as a MAME/Xbox game solution so I could play the Xbox fighting games without any of the slowdowns that I would have if I was using a Pentium 3 etc for a PC.

I've been pretty impressed with how well MAMEoX works on my soft-modded Xbox. Unfortunately there's little-to-no mouse support. USB keyboards work fine and are the only way I've found to get into all the options for MAME. Doesn't an I-Pac get detected as a standard USB keyboard? I'd think it would work fine.
The biggest stumbling block on an XBox is the 64MB of ram.
My setup works well when we want to play 4-player or just sit down and play in the living room, but I'm not sure it's good enough for an all-purpose sort of cabinet.
