Welcome fellow uk'er. If you're after a cab to mame then try the jamma+ boards as there's always sellers on there offering up decent cabs for sale.

For artwork, you should probably start by getting an idea of what you like - look at the the completed builds thread or pick an original. There's a lot of styles to pick from and most people will share or at least offer advice.

You'll invariably be after acrylic at some stage. These guys do a 36% opacity - took ages to find supplier in the UK - good for monitor perspex shade:
