If you could have multiple MAME cabinets, what would they be?

I appreciate the offer but this site is "Build Your Own Arcade Controls." I need to find a working Star Wars cabinet and then gut it myself. I'm thinking a sawzall would do the trick. I might be interested in the phone though.

I have 3
4 way vertical with 1 button for classics
8 way horizontal for fighters
spinner vertical with 2 buttons
I have had multiple 4 way, cocktails, bartops, defender layout, and driving cabs but for my needs those 3 arcade games fit the bill.
Paul Olson:
I have one modular cab (well, control panel, it will have a new custom cab someday when i am less lazy), and it does mostly what I need. I would like to have more though if I had the space. I would need to build a modular panel for each of them though. There really are too many control combinations to keep to a manageable number of cabs for me.
Vertical 27" for shmups
Vertical 19" for classics
Horizontal 25"
Dual sitdown drivers
I think that would do it for me. Although I would get lots of use out of them, I don't think I would get rid of any of the dedicated games in the garage to make room for these.

Just move FunSpot into my house please. ;D
Seriously though, I don't think I'd ever feel the need for more than the following:
Vertical PacMan style cab with a 4 way + 1 or 2 buttons
2 player vertical cab for shmups, with a Trackball in the center for Centipede, and a spinner for Arkanoid
A sitdown driving cab
and a 2 player horizontal cab with a fighter layout would cover everything else
Alas, money/time/space limitations pretty much dictate that I have just one cab for the time being. I think I can tastefully cover pretty much everything but racing games and proper controls for Centipede and Arkanoid.
