| Swappable Panels, Box Top or panel? |

| coasternuts:
I am working on two possible designs for my cab. I can't decide. Ultimately I'm thinking I will end up with 5 panels: 1) Trackball with 4-way joystick 2) Tron Trigger, spinner, + joystick(4 or 8 way, not sure.) 3) SNK Rotarys 4) PP driving panel. 5) 4 8-way joys, to play DnD, Gauntlet, Smash Tv. If I go with design 1, box top, I think it would be more work, a lot of space, and not as "intimate" :-* If I go with design 2, just panel, I don't think panels 4 and 5 are going to fit. Any pointers, ideas, help...I'm stuck!! Thanks. |

I have your first option. But that was how the gauntlet cps are done. If I had a choice, I would probably go with the second though. Should be more stable in the end. (no worry about sliding side to side) and you should be able to have a few - fewer clamps |

If you drop the concept of actual 4-player support (this will never get used unless you are under 22, or you have 3 children), then the second way will be best. Just make the Smash TV setup. As for the steering wheels, just buy a populated Badlands control panel, it will have 2 360' wheels mounted on a metal plate designed to bolt on to panels like that. Add a pair of Happ/Atari kit pedals to the bottom of the cabinet and you will be set for 2 player driving action. |

I opted against 4-player as well. |

i'd say go with the second idea just because of asthetics. i'm trying to work a driving panel into mine too, and i'm going that same route. good luck with al that though, sounds expensive. |
