You could use something a multi function drive bay device for a computer and just figure out a way to mount it cleanly somewhere. www.Frozencpu.com has tons of different ones to choose from |

Two of these on the front of the control panel: http://www.markertek.com/Connectors-Adapters/Data-Connectors-Adapters/USB-Adapters/Switchcraft-Corporation/EHUSBABBX.xhtml They are simple to install since you only need to drill a hole. No cutting/routing out square pieces. |

I bought something similar and didn't use it. Instead I just hooked up a keyboard via usb and keep it inside the cabinet, accessible by opening the coin door and pulling it out. I don't use any controllers that would require USB. |

i took the double front usb ports from the case the pooter came in, then i took a spare happ push button, removed the button bit, and dremeled the usb ports square plastic surround till it was round, and sat inside the button housing, then i just mounted the button/usb port on the side of the cab, of course for a 4 port jobbie you'd need 2 buttons, |

Looks great, but is pretty inconspicuous. --- End quote --- That is also what I did. Along with my NES, SNES, N64 and GC ports. I haven't gotten any further on my cab since I took this picture, but you get the idea. I wanted nice clean flush mounted ports. When I epoxy them in, I'll use some filler around the front of the ports before I paint it to give it a nice, seamless look. |
