The MVS boards are also arcade boards, so they require a seperate power supply, an arcade monitor (or one that can use RGB signals), controllers.
But on the good side, the games are dirt cheap compared to their AES counterparts.
CD is good if you don't want to spend a shitload of money and don't mind the (often) long load times. But you won't be able to find any of the lastest games on it, and some of the later ones were also gimped to make them fit within the system's ram.
Should also add that with a convertor (which isn't cheap) the AES system can play the much cheaper MVS carts. If you just want to play the games, then this is the better way to go, or you can, of course, spend the $1000+ for Metal Slug AES.

And just to be clear on this, about 99% of standard PC monitors will not sync down to a standard arcade signal. Apart from getting an actual arcade monitor, you'd need something like an Amiga monitor, studio monitor, original series (1980s-era) NEC Multisync, or a TV with standard-res RGB input (which virtually no North American TVs have).
Find a local arcade distributor that is getting rid of old cabinets and offer to pick it up yourself. Could probably get one for cheap that way. Also you can check on ebay but stick to sellers who are local to you or you could end up paying $200-400 for shipping alone. As for the 6 slot expect to pay ALOT. These things are pretty scarse and they fetch a pretty penny. Your best bet would be to just get a 1 slot off ebay for $100 or so.
the best way to play NeoGeo games cheaply is to get a Supergun, or SuperNOVA from MAS Systems, then get a 2 slot board, like Des-Row said, the 1 slots have problems with newer games, sometimes.
This setup is the cheapest, (unless you find a cab for under $200 with a nice monitor and a 2 slot board) and the best for space.

this stuff is expensive!! im going with aes and maybe a converter
Keep in mind that the convertors normally go for $150-300 depending on if you find a deal or something.

yea, i would get a neogeo cd bcuz of backups, but the neogeo games are really collectables... nobody really pays 5000 dollars for the 1 game that begins with m ( not metal slug, thats expensive 2) and i realize that i can get a backup on cdr, but the games arent fun on cdrs, and the loading tyme sux 2 i hear.

i think magician lord? 
$4080 too much would mean it costs $920 not the 20-40 you said.
