Build a whole cab. I agree- thats enough space. A nintendo wide body is just about 26.5" wide. Perhaps you can find one of those and convert it.

I wanted to offer my two cents about the usb hubs. I had two issues. 1) I used those for about a year, and mine reset the mouse and spinner assignments everytime the arcade was turned back on. 2) and the biggest pain, my motherboard wouldn't boot to the hd's with them plugged in. I had to unplug them everytime I restarted the cabinet. It was a huge pain.
I would highly recommend getting a usb card for the motherboard and getting cheap usb extenstions off the internet. I bought two pci cards with five inputs each and they handle everything beautifully. It was a little more expensive, but not much. Each card was $20 and I paid $3 ea. for extensions. I'm sure they could be had for better deals with a little research.

amount of angle on the action buttons - Do you mean the angle of the control panel surface (usually 10? or so) or the angle of the buttons on it? (mock it up and see what's comfortable.)
type of casters to use - I wouldn't use casters again.

Yeah I meant the angle of the action buttons.
As for the caster thing, why wouldn't you add them again? What problems did you run into in the past and what do you use now to prevent damaging the bottom of the cab when moving it?

Here's a small update to the cab...
Original,
New

I think you should build a showcase. That trackball is for sure going to break someones finger.
As for your new cabinet designs - if it's going to have a qbert marquee - it should have the qbert side art. I like the color yellow - it's a nice bright cab.
