4 Joystick Control Panel Dimensions

[dmish82]

Hi,

I'm following the Project Arcade Book building my first cabinet and everything is running smoothly so far. I have all of the wood cut out so far and I've started assembly.  My question is that the book's dimensions of the control panel are to accomodate 2 players. I plan on using 4 joysticks (Players 1 & 2 will have 6 buttons, Players 3 & 4 will have 4 buttons). I won't be adding a trackball but may down the road. Can anyone tell me some dimensions that would be good for a 4 player control panel but not too bulky either? Also, does anyone have any links to a good 4 player control panel layout?

Thanks,
Dave

well...with mdf, the width is 48 inchs wide, just make cuts say 18 inchs or do...you can will be fine with 4 player now and future still add track ball.
