I think a full size cabinet is the best solution (if you have time, space and money) but I still find the need for a nice control beside my regular PC. I don't want that control to take up to much space so I find the PowerRamp by Act Labs perfect. It is a bit plastic and lack a 100% genuine arcade feel, but I find the feel OK since playing MAME on a PC is a compromise in the first place.

A HotRod from Hanaho is probably superior but I can recommend the PowerRamp if you want a cheaper alternative. I also got a PowerRamp MITE (for console emulation). It is _not_ as good as the PowerRamp. It is also OK but if I had to choose I would definitely choose the PowerRamp.
