How wide should a two player CP be?

It looks great, and it's actually pretty comfortable.

The biggest factor to panel size is what controls do you require on your panel? My original panel that I built was 24" x 10" deep, it featured a 6 button 2 joystick layout with various administrative buttons. My new panel is a lot larger but right now I'm working on a panel that is 34" x 14" it has a lot of stuff on it, and is still a work in progress so it may end up being smaller then the current dimensions.

Well, what I am looking at is a two player CP with:
2 Happs competition joysticks
6 buttons to the right of each stick
1 pac-man 4-way stick right in the center
1 button to the right of the pac-man stick
If anyone has a panel that is 26" or smaller and has a setup similar to this, I'd sure love to see a picture! (measurements would be great to since I have never really built anything before)

I had some wood cut at Home Depot and planned to have it 26" long by 12" wide, but now I am wondering if this is going to be comfortable enough for a two player CP with the 6 buttons to the right of each stick.
Any advice, experiances shared would be appreciated.
Thanks!

That is a bigger panel than basically every game ever made before Mortal Kombat. So yes, that is more than large enough.
Good size for a 2 player panel is 22" to 34".

Okay, here is a shot from the top.
(no, that is not the color scheme I'm going to use)
Below is a shot from the bottom, which shows how I fit all the parts. (quite a bit of extra space actually)
