I live in the middle of B.F.E. and bought my cabinet on ebay for a decent price I thought. Shipping was almost as much as the cabinet but I had it for around 400 at my door. I bought a Captain America game since it wasn't emulated hoping that I coudl donate the board... not the trouble and wasn't needed... sigh.
anyway, when I finished hacking it... I wish I built my own. I didn't get a free or $50 cabinet. But after I removed everything I didn't need.... I had a wooden box, speakers and 2 coin doors. I could have built it all with some of the great plans around for 1/10 of what I payed.
Anyway, if you can do any kind of wood working and you arent having luck on getting a free or cheap one, just build it. Then it will truely be yours!
