Pick up a cheap micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboard with the fastest clock speed Intel CPU you can afford and 4 to 8GB of memory.
Install Windows 7 64-bit
Use the latest version of MAME.
If you're going to use older hardware, I'd recommend at least a recent Intel Core2Duo processor.
I wouldn't use a laptop in an enclosed cabinet. I think you're going to have cooling problems. Laptops having cooling issues when you put them under load when they're sitting out in the open.
Is the CRT monitor an arcade monitor? If yes, then...
Pair it with GroovyMAME, CRT_Emudriver, and a compatible ATI/AMD card from the Radeon HD 5000 series or higher.
