Iguana--you might want to check your local Gamestop, if you have one, and ask for the Pelican Real Arcade Joystick. The current version is universal (i.e. Gamecube, PS1/2, XBox), but they used to make them separately for each system, and they will be less expensive. I just happened to sell the one I have for $35, including a PS1/2 to USB adapter, which I used with MAME. It appears to use the same parts that you can buy from Happs, etc (might even be a Happ joystick?). Anyway, that's probably your best bet if you don't want to make your own. Do a search on Pelican here, and you'll find some more detailed information.
