Wonder how hard it would be and what kind of performance you would get if you networked the cabinet and desktop PC and ran the arcade as a client and ran Blitz off MAME on the desktop as a server?

Uh?!?  There is a difference between file STORAGE (what you propose) and CPU PROCESSING POWER which is what your computer does on your end when playing games, etc.  I'd have to essentially run a REALLY LONG VGA cord and USB cord from the computer in the office to the gameroom in the garage!

Well, I'm not a network guru, but wouldn't you be able to use the CPU Processing power of the desktop Core2Duo for running MAME, and just use the networked slower box in the arcade for displaying graphics and feeding inputs to the main CPU.

You could use a wireless router and wireless card if they are really far apart and you don't want to string CAT 5 through the house.

This is really great news.  I will have to upgrade my computer system in 2-3 years and get some of those nice games going like Gauntlet Dark Legacy.  It is just a pain to upgrade roms and config files.  Good thing I backed everything up to a portable hard drive and I also wrote down all my instructions as well.

Mainly setting up that MameWah was a pure ---smurfette--- to do, but it does run good now with all my settings configed.
