I'm in a very simular situation. I had been looking for a nice ms.pacman cocktail for my wife. When I saw how much they were selling for, I knew I had to figure something else out. I remembered MAME and after checking back into found that others were already doing what I was thinking of doing...building/converting a machine to mame.

Since I originally was going to only have a ms. pacman machine, it wasn't that big of deal to me to limit the games I load to the classics. therefore my "extra" Pentium 133 I had around would be more than enough power. I plan on mostly focusing on the vertical classics (donkey kongs, pac-mans, frogger, galaga, ect.). But I was able to find a nice 20" PC monitor for free. It's big enough, that if I want to run a horizontal game flipped, I can do it and it still looks fine. So...I guess I'd just keep in mind that what your gonna get will be much better than what you wouldd have got "original" for the money. Just put what will run and look fine on there and enjoy it.
