What Dance Pad do you have or recommend?

Zathras:
Another vote for building your own metal pads.  I finally got around to installing DWI on my cab this weekend and hooked up the pads with a ps2 to USB adapter and it was like a whole new experience with the cab.  

GGKoul:
Zathras, do you have any pics of the dance pad you made?  How much did it cost you?  

As I found a BYODP link on this site and the guy said it cost him @ $120 for him to create his own.  And that's how much is cost for me to get one of via ebay.  So I would save on the shipping charges.

Thanks!

Zathras:
I PMed you GGKoul but just to share the info:

They were about $100 each if memory serves me correctly but they are tanks that will hold up to anything - I've used them for a couple of years now and haven't had a bit of a problem.  They have been stomped on by all shapes and sizes.

For more info and ideas there is a thread on DDRFreak about BYODDRP

The main page I used when building mine is:

I have some old "in progress" pics of mine up at:

They are pretty close to what they are now but I replaced the pegboard bottom w/ MDF for some extra rigidity.  The overhang was going to be for a backplate but after using them for a while I decided it wasn't really necessary so I dropped that idea when I switched to MDF


I'll try to take some updated pics with them hooked up to the cab.

I'm thinking of building my own pad, specifically for use with Stepmania. What PS2 to USB adapter works well with Stepmania?
