Can your cab connect to the internet?
TOK:
No net access on mine. I actually had all 3 MAME cabs on the net before building my game room, but after moving them out there they are not networked. I occasionally add a ROM or something with a flash drive, but that is so rare that doing it that way isn't a hassle.

Yes
My frontend (GameEx) has links to two radio stations, an inbuilt weather forecast viewer, a inbuilt RSS viewer and a link to Google, which by using a Firefox add-on called full-fullscreen (which forced firefox into fullscreen mode),an on-screen keyboard and my touch screen - is a fantastic feature.

Mine is on my network. That way I can log in from any computer in the house and configure it when I want. Now that I have an LCD, it is not as big of an issue though. I still don't see any reason to disconnect it though. I don't have too many problems keeping any of the computers up and running. I haven't had a bad virus for a few years. the last one did take out the hard drive on the cab computer though. It was a good excuse to upgrade. :)

I have an 802.11n USB dongle plugged into the front panel. Makes it easy to fire up Space Paranoids for that groovy Tron stick goodness.
It's a Hackintosh build, so random virus infections aren't a pressing concern.

Mines connected wireless full time when it's turned on, no real need for it sept for the semi regular SSF4:AE online match-up, I can see people's reasoning for not wanting to have their Cab's connected but for me in all my years of using the internet from dialing in to MBBS boards to right this second, I've only ever had 1 major virus and have never had an issue with Microsoft updates/service packages..ect. So for me I don't feel there really is much of a risk.
