Starting Over... Again...

Not intending to break the forum rules, so let me know if anything below is out of place here...
I have an old cabinet, built over 15 years ago. It's got a heavy Wells-Gardner monitor. Four player controls, just a big huge thing, takes up a ton of space.
The computer running it died a few years back. I let it sit for awhile, and then I tried to go the Raspberry Pi route.
Took awhile to get the monitor looking right. But in the end, I really couldn't get it to work that well with my controls. I just don't have the time to dive in and figure everything out. Plus I realize now it's not really the way to go.
So at this point, I want to start all over. Get a new smaller cabinet, already equipped with a solid computer, pre-configured to all the controls.
Are there any suggestions for places that sell cabinets like this? Places you've done business with and can recommend.
Anything in the Los Angeles area would be preferred.
I'm not looking for roms, I know they're not supposed to be sold that way. Just want the cabinet and computer.
Thanks in advance.

I just rebuilt my 18 y/o arcade cabinet that had the 27" Wells Gardner D9200 and computer that both died. For the monitor I used a 26" square lcd monitor which fit great with a custom wood frame that I made in my garage. For the computer I bought an hp mini tower for under $400. I replaced all the buttons on the slikstik CO2 with light up ones and added a dynamic marquee screen. Updated all the roms and mame software to the latest version. BigBox for the front end, and it can play a dozen game consoles now. If you want to go that route I can steer you in the right direction. If you want to keep your existing cabinet, that's what I think you should do. I have a couple pictures posted in the galery under Gamer1701.
