Hanaho offers a line of quality ArcadePC game cabinets.  An ArcadePC isn't a bad option considering the quality of the finished product as well as the cost of materials, tools, and your time.

 

 

Build Your Own Arcade Controls is one of the better resources for getting started with an arcade cabinet or control panel project.  Browse the "Newbie Guide", check out the examples section to see what others have already done, visit the "What's new" section, and then follow interesting threads on the message boards.

 

You can download some pretty impressive MAME and arcade related movies at CinemArcade.  In addition to intro movies, there are some nice background pictures and other creative works (mostly relating to classic arcade games).

 

You can order various arcade controls and accessories from Happ Controls.

 

Hanaho's HotRod™ Joystick is an arcade control panel for use with your PC.  It offers a realistic arcade-like experience by allowing you to use arcade controls (instead of a PC keyboard) to play games on your PC.  

 

MAME allows people to run their arcade game ROMs on a Personal Computer.  The first version was released in 1997.  New beta versions tend to come out every few weeks.

 

MameWorld is full of content and its collection of links is a valuable resource for finding other MAME related sites.

 

Project Examples

There are many excellent cabinet projects that have been documented.  A few that have particular aspects which I feel are noteworthy include: Arcade Stupidity, Rick's MAME Projects, and Scott's Unicade
