Of course, but that's not really the point.
If you're going to do it, go the full Monty and build a proper MAME cabinet, with decals and lighting.
And like GFM said, you need quality parts for the stick and buttons, my preference are the SANWAs, I've got a custom built stick which I was planning to strip for the parts.

They are lovely convex buttons. Don't like concaves personally, but I think those are more American style sticks and buttons.
Anyway, one day... Or I might just buy one. Who knows
