Well, I found USB speakers on ebay with no sound card needed for $20 after shipping.  I have to say though that I don't like the idea of lowering price and then charging $18 in shipping.  Some may call it marketing, but I think it is just trying to be deceptive.  I'm not ready to start buying stuff yet, but it looks like I can find everything I need online.

It most situations, low listing prices and high shipping fees is a method sellers use to reduce the costs of listing fees and the result percentage that eBay collects on the final purchase price.

Another source for pieces and parts is www.cyberguys.com and of course newegg.com and zipzoomfly.com

Best of luck on your project.

Does anybody know the quality of the joystick seen in this auction and/or anybody have a particular recommendation on a 2/4/8 joystick?
Thanks

This looks like a fun project. I'll enjoy following your progress when you get started on it. I've been kicking around the idea of building one myself. Been sort of hoping a baby motherboard falls into my lap in the same way that one seems to have fallen into yours.

I'm excited to get started but I think I'll have to wait a month or two.  I spent a lot of time an money on my cabinet recently and I've neglected other projects around the house that I need to get finished.  I'll post something in Project Announcements once I'm able to start.
