Ok, I was thinking about running MAME in a cabinet of mine. I have an idea on how to install a monitor and the controls, but how about coin mechs? How would they be wired to a PC board? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the help.

Coin mechs are a switch just like a button control... If you are using one of those arcade control to PC interface boards, you should be able to map it to one of the inputs.
I'm making a Jukebox using a PC in a cab. I plan on getting USB numeric pad and run controls (coin too) wired from that.

are you talking about a coin button on the arcade control?
No, coin mechs (when talking about the whole coin door) have a trip wire with a microswitch.. The switch is no different electrically than the switch on a control panel (like say a Jump button) that you would wire up to a PC...

never use a game pad encoder they do not have enough inputs and usually are usb for mame ps2 input is the way to go
Don't PS2 Keyboards have a max number of concurrent button presses?
That doesn't always bode well in fighting games.
