Here are some of the links I found useful in researching this project.

The AZ EMU Group.  This site was built as a resource for MAME/retrogaming fans in Arizona to get together and help each other out.

MAME.  The emulator that makes it all possible.

Retrogames        All the retrogaming news that's fit to print, plus emulator downloads

Build your Own Arcade Controls  There's a discussion board and lots of links of pages just like this one, only better.

Arcade@Home   Another build your own cabinet site with extra goodies like their own front end.

PC 2 JAMMA       Home of the ArcadeOS frontend that I will be using, excellent Tech articles on conversions too.

Happ Controls     Pretty much the de facto place to go for all kinds of arcade parts

Video Connection    They have some other arcade controls, including cool old style joysticks.  The web page is out of date, and they don't have a real e-commerce server, so you pretty much just need to call them and tell them what you want.  Nice people though.

I-PAC                 This handy device lets you connect your arcade controls to a keyboard interface

Fultra                  This guy makes little spinner knobs, great for games like Araknoid and Warlords.

KLOV                The Killer list of video games, pretty much what the title says.

Poster    Great program for printing marquees.  I haven't tried yet, but the poster feature might be good for making side art.

Dragon's Den    Great source of side art in scalable .WMF format so you can make it tiny for a marquee or huge for side art.

ROMS
I found this great post on alt.games.mame listing just about every ROM site out there, half of these links will probably be dead by next week, but enjoy.
