Here, consider my edited version, it is cheaper to build and a lot more comfortable and functional than the one you posted. |

Wow. That ^ is rad. I am so glad I posted a pic here. That is excellent feedback. And with your configuration I can eliminate the player 3 & 4 green credit buttons. I think the middle looks a little bit barren now though. Maybe I'll move everything up a bit. Or just get real cool art. thanks! Anymore? |

The center is not "barren"....that's where you sit your drinks. ;D |

I dont think you are going to like spinning your track ball with a joystick on each side of it. I had to push mine up in the center (or a little higher) on the panel, to avoid as much as I can w/the trackball. If you are aming for the panel to be a total width of 48" I think the bottom will be too narrow to fit all that stuff in. Keep in mind that the stick on the left will not be able to be that close to the edge, cause you have wood underneath to think about, plus if you mount the joy on an angle verses straight up and down, you will need another inch or so then.... Notice my green joystick in the Pic below... With the overhang of the panel (.5", the wood frame .75" and the wood corner piece underneath for attaching panels, .5") this is the closest to the edge of the panel I could put this thing. Here is a pic of my layout that I am working on tonight as we speak... I had to push alot of the buttons inward becasue of the wood along the edges that make the box, plus the 1/2" wood that joined the pieces together... lots to consider. Also keep in mind that if you are going for the 'dual' stick for player 1 and player 2, to keep the sticks far enough apart, that it is still comforatable to use the buttons. If you are playing a game of Street Fighter, you dont want your hands rubbin against the 2nd joystick as you play. Dave |
