In side the lower deck I'll have a PC, a SNES, a Genesis, and a place for my Xbox (when I feel the urge to play some Soul Calibur 2).

The PC will be the only think hooked to the control deck (though if I get the X-Arcade I'll have the Xbox adapter as well), I plan on just using the snes and genesis original controls on a retractable spool I have mounted in place of the coin slot.

For the most part I'm just being somewhat lazy on building the control deck myself.  I'm leaning towards the X-Arcade setup becuase if I want to use it on my Xbox on my HDtv upstairs it's just a matter of pulling it out of the console box (thought about using velcro to secure it) and unhooking it from the PC.

Another option would be http://www.redoctane.com/joystick-xbox.html, although I've heard the joystick and buttons suck, but the price is good.

You could replace the buttons and joystick, parallel wire each button to the original connector and a DB25 (cut RS-232 parallel port extension cable) connector, wire the other half of the DB25 to the keyboard encoder and have the same thing.

Just don't hook the redoctane stick to both the X-box and the encoder at the same time.

It's not bad at all. Plenty of room as well. I sold mine, though. There's not enough gratification in purchasing a CP. But don't get me wrong, the thing worked like a dream.

Flampoo did you build your cab in that pic or was it a refurb?
