I've still got all the parts for a MAME machine sitting in my work room. I started building it about 2 months ago, but I cut some panels wrong, and gave up (temporarily) in disgust. It's a great project, I just don't have the attention span for it.
My project is actually a portable MAME machine. It's a 24""x10"x6" acrylic box with 2 player, 6 button controls and a trackball on the top. Inside is a MicroATX motherboard & power supply, a 7 gig HD with a complete MAME 0.69 romset, and a VGA-TV converter. On the outside will be standard RCA audio and video jacks. You can take it wherever you want, plug it into a TV, and you're ready to go.

The easiest way (even I could do it) to have a MAME arcade cabinet is with the products from Ultimarc. I am currently using their J-PAC.
Building a MAME cabinet was simple a matter of plugging the J-PAC into the jamma connector of the arcade cabinet and plugging the two cables into the vga and keyboard of the PC.
After that I used the excellent AdvanceMame to set up the cabinet and started playing. The whole proces took me a day. The most problems where cause by the setup of my audiocard.
After this you can start enhancing your cabinet with trackballs and the like.
Total cost:
One PC - as cheap/expensive as you want
One 28inch JAMMA Cabinet - 300 euros including a NeoGeo four slot board with 4 games of choice
One JPAC - 70 euros including shipping
