WTB: Any upright fighter-style cabinet that I can convert to MAME

I'm looking for something in the Tekken/Marvel vs. Capcom/Street Fighter upright cab flavor that I can throw a MAME PC and a J-PAC into. It needs to have:
-a 25" CRT monitor that WORKS
-Jamma harness with working game PCB
-preferably have a joystick and six buttons per player.

The kicker is... I need to have it shipped freight to me in Montana.

Looking to spend less than $500 for the cabinet, and I'll pay the palleting/freight shipping costs too, of course.

Thanks!

I'd specifically be on the lookout for a Dynamo cabinet (the kind with the 'cut corner' control panel) or a candy cabinet.

You also might want to go try the BYOAC forums (Google it if not familiar). That crowd is a lot more MAME-friendly, and a lot of the people selling here consider it borderline criminal to sell a empty cabinet for someone to MAME when they could be tossing a cheap multigame board in it and making a profit for themselves.
 
Another source which is probably superior to either here or BYOAC is the neo-geo.com forum.

But to get anything going there involving shipping a game you will probably need to make at least 10-50 posts plus have good trader feedback on other deals there or somewhere else verifiable like eBay. And probably raise your budget to more like $750 and be willing to take a candy cabinet.

The crowd over there is almost completely unmoderated as well, so unless you can keep your cool and deal well with elitist douchebag man-children you may want to avoid (personally I usually only pop in there when I have a lot of console video games to sell and don't feel like using eBay).

EDIT: Oh one other tip. I'd probably make a very specific topic title at BYOAC like "WTB: Dynamo cut corner, big blue, or Candy cab to MAME, Montana, can ship". They actually have rules there about WTB/FS topics including your location.
