Incorporating a real mouse
(+_+):
lilshawn, I dont' think I'd like the trackpad since tracking while clicking doesn't seem comfortable.
SavannahLion, the ergo trackballs may do the trick. I'll have to check it out.
Thanks!

What if you made your small shelf out of metal, sunk/hid some larger washers under the art/plexi, then put magnets on the bottom of the legs of the stand? It would snap into place as you got it close.
Similarly you could use a wireless optical mouse and put a few small magnets on the underside to give it some cling to the metal mousing surface, to help it from falling off while not using it.
Haven't really thought this all the way through. Just thinking out loud.
Corbo:
If you're playing a game that needs a mouse, chances are you might need a keyboard as well. You could consider a slide out drawer with a keyboard and mouse pad on it.

THen what would be the point? It wouldn't be a cab, it would be an uncomfortable stand-up desk

Sorry, hate to be peeing on ideas but if it involves building a shelf and rewiring and etc., then I'd have to agree with Donkbaca I think there are games that work well on a cabinet, and others that would be better suited at a computer or a console. Then again, I'm the guy watching Grosse Pointe Blank and thinking that a Doom 2 cabinet would be a nightmare to play after the novelty wore off. :-\
But if you still want one, then I think SavannahLion has the right idea. I used that one-handed trackball set-up back in the 90's (thumb controlled the ball, index fingers the other buttons) and it worked surprisingly well with Duke Nukem 3D.
