I'm been thinking of what padhack to go with, but then I realized that I could simply gut one of my existing console arcade sticks. With regular Xbox controllers you have cut the yellow wire and install a push button to turn the system on and off through the controller. Is it possible to extend the Xbox power button to its own pushbutton on the control panel directly without going through the controller? Basically I just want to extend the power button directly to the cp. If this can be done, how?

Yes, IIRC do the console side of the hack, then connect it to a switch instead of going to the controller. Bad explaination, maybe you should try XBOX-Scene?

very easy.
Front panel power assembly
Backside
Just hook up your positive and ground.
Have the wire come out underneath the front plate, through the vents.
Nice little pushbutton on the side, or CP if you wish.
made the whole thing with molex connectors for easy removal.
;)

WOW that's excellent! I see you did it with a pushbutton hitting a microswitch. I assume you can simply that by simply wiring it to a Sanwa OBSN-24?
This is really looking excellent.

I got in touch with the seller today and I've confirmed I'm going to pick it up this Saturday. I plan to test it out to ensure it works before I pick it up, but I've heard arcade monitors can be deadly to the touch even after you unplug them if mishandled. Is it safe to touch the outside casing, even the back? Also is it safe to lay the cabinet down after its recently been on?
I'm probably being silly and paranoid, but I think that's better than being dead. Any precautions you guys can give would be awesome.
I plan to lay the cab down on a blanket on the floor of the van I'm renting. What is the best way to lay it down? On its back or one of the sides? Or maybe the front?
