You want an arcade cabinet with xbox controllers hanging out of it? All you would have to do is figure out what audio/video the speakers/monitor in the cab had and get any necessary adapters and stick the xbox in it. if you are thinking of using real arcade joysticks and such this site has great instructions http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade.htm

I swear, do you just post in random subjects to get your post count to go up?

As for putting an Xbox in a mame cabinet, it would probably better to build your own cabinet and put the Xbox in it. The monitor used in those arcade machines arent made for Consoles in mind and you won't find easy hookup for an Xbox to use. Not to mention those CRT's carry some high voltage that would knock you on your ass if you don't know exactly what your doing. If your really intent you will have to do alot of research into finding the pinouts for video input of the CRT and create a VGA adapter to match. It's not as easy as just using the composite or Svideo of the Xbox to the CRT. Since the refresh rates usually vary quite alot.

I have a  friend who built a Mame machine and bought the Arcade stick featured on the site given by droog. It runs on a Pentium 3 1000ghz Emachine. He used an old cabinet from a defunct SeaWolf, we gutted the ROM boards and CRT and put in a 20 flat screen monitor. We're in the process of building a table arcade machine. (You know the one where two players sit opposite each other and the screen flips for each player.)
