For the most part, do people think these are real arcade machines?
Tailgunner:
All of mine were real arcade games at one time, and as far as I'm concerned, they still are.

I don't think that is really a problem. About as many people have heard of MAME as have building a cab, not a whole lot. Most people just think that MAME is some game that they have never heard of.
However, if you really want people to think that it is a real cab you could style it to a real game (complete with artwork and marquee). Then, until they notice the extra controls, they would just think that it is a standard single game cab.

most of my sisters friends who don't know me that well think it is the real deal. my friends of course knew since i told them i was building one. just been doing some renovating around the house and it got covered in plaster dust. thought it had a good 'just discovered in a warehouse' look about it...

Same here...people always say 'so you made this from an old arcade game'...and it's not even finished yet... :)
Santoro:
People usually think my cab is a real one. I love the look of disbelief when I tell them I built it from scratch.
