Hey, if you want to go the pre-build way, there are alot of other manufactures you can look at. Goto http://www.mameworld.net/ and look at the ads at the top of the page.

Stewie: You are too kind. I got the MDF so I'm gonna start building this one all on my own... and take it from there. :laugh:

Here's another good suggestion to help you get over the "gotta play games with controls now" syndrome which will lead to a rough if not unfinished cabinet. (You know who you are!)
Build a test panel with your controls in the layout you would most likely enjoy. There are no standards unless you enjoy one game in particular. Using your components you can decide what cabinet configuration is going to work for you.
I grew up on Omega Race, can't play it enough, have my own mint original but my MAME test rig actually plays the software better than any original machine ever did. My control layout has evolved many times since I can easily modify it.
My MAME unit will be a cocktail design to enhance its friendliness in the home as a sit-down internet terminal and coffee table. There are many many designs that the good people here have made available for you to adapt from.
My plan is to finish the control panel, make it standalone and make a gift of it. Then build the cabinet I designed from it.
As a lot would agree, the real fun is designing your next machine so either way you are certain to have a blast.
