Since I'm new to this whole arcade owning deal, I'm thinking I want to walk before I run. So, I've been doing some research and I think I've made the decision to get a 1,069-in-1 Jamma setup, for a few reasons. As avid as a collector that I am, I want to learn more about the craft before getting a "holy grail". I figure the 1,069-in-1 will give me the fun of all the games I want for right now, and get me more into this field, without dumping a ton of money for multiple dedicated games.
Now what I need help on is, I know nothing about the inner/outer workings of an arcade game, and I'm looking to see if one(or a few) of you talented individuals would be up for a project to help me out? I'm not looking at doing this for another few weeks, but I'm looking for someone who already has or can come up with a Jamma cabinet to put this in:

Here's what I'm looking for in the cab:
- Maybe 19", but I'd prefer a 25" monitor standard resolution(or whatever the most common is)
- Control panel similar to a Street Fighter sorts(8 way joysticks with trigger button on top & 6 buttons) plus a trackball in the middle for games like Golden Tee, ect...
- 1 button on each side of the cab for that pinball feel on video pinball if possible.
- 1 player/2 player buttons plus start/stop/menu buttons if possible.
- Maybe a coin slot
There might be a few other things, but I can't think of anything else right now.
Anyway, I'll pay for all the parts as needed, might have to be in a couple of stages depending on the prices. Then once complete, and whoever is paid for their time, have it shipped to me(paid by me of course), unless I'm lucky enough that they're local or within driving distance
I found these while searching around, but you guys would know better than I what would be easier & better for a cabinet:

Let me know if any of you guys are interested, what you're thinking for a price for your time and trouble, and also know, that after getting the first one I'll probably have a second one made to the same specs. That way I can have them play individual games, or play up to four players with the connection.
As I said, I know near nothing when it comes to this, and I'm looking for your advice, input, help. I appreciate your time, and if you can help. Thanks,
SR
