How much money do you have in your project?

Good luck with that. Shows us the receipts when you're done.  :laugh2:

(Says the man whose budget was $250. "Yes baby, $250 on the arcade, that's all I'll spend." $800 later....whoopsy!)

Price of controls?  Around 65-80$

That part's probably possible if you're not planning on a spinner, trackball, or specialized joysticks, but I've read that shipping charges if you order direct from Happ might eat up that budget!

Ginsu Victim:
Probably not ordering direct. If he's considering it, though, we should warn him:

DON'T!

Also, I don't see any budget for the marquee/artwork, t-molding, coin door, monitor glass, power strip, speakers and some other typical stuff.  You said you paid $50 for a cabinet but depending on the condition it might take a lot to restore and unless you got a great deal on it I'm betting an old $50 cab from 1983 is beat up from the feet up.
