Consolized A boards are pretty rare. There isn't a lot of spare room for extra electronics I believe. Plus a consolized unit can only play games for that particular platform.

A supergun can play "virtually" any JAMMA arcade game board. Some setups require a few extra wires/components. A more complex setup would be a SEGA NAOMI one.

The pic above shows the basic idea of a supergun. A kit box with a cable and a long edge connector (JAMMA connector). You plug your game board (ex: CPS2 A+B board) to it. Then some inputs for controllers.

As for a cab setup...

It's probably easier to find a cheap old arcade machine and fix it up a little rather than building one from scratch.
