My first experience with a MAME project was buying a stripped cab. Turned out that none of the components I wanted to use would fit. Monitor area was too small - cp was way to small. Basically it would not work for me at all. What I did end up doing is stripping all the hardware out of it. All nuts and bolts, bezel latching mechanisms grills that allow ventilation. Everything. It really came in handy when I went to scratch build a cab. All the small parts and pieces really add up. The coin door assembly alone is close to $100.
If you can find a used cab close 20-50 it will probably be more than worth it just for spare parts.
