Tiger-Heli:
No, I wasn't - Aren't the below comments the standard practice for building one of these.  It pretty much has been for me, for as far as I've gotten on it.

Oh - also forgot to add:

Either read this forum daily for a constant stream of new cool stuff to add to the project, or avoid the forum altogether so you have some chance of getting something built before you want to "improve" the design.

You forgot  . . .

Rearrange buttons b/c you didn't like your first attempt

Add trackball and Spinner.

Add Star Wars Yoke and T2 Guns.

Build and interface multiple CP's for attaching above.

Upgrade to 49-Way joysticks with rotary adapters just b/c they're cool

Come up with cool and unique side art and CP overlays.

Configure Frontend so it doesn't look like a PC in a big box.

Lighted sticks and buttons just because you can.
