New CP layout with usb ports

Was looking into building a new panel and adding USB ports. Also keeping them kinda hidden. Now my cab sits in a corner so the area of the cp I want to put them is kinds hidden. I also went as far as to add the mouse or t-ball buttons to the player one and player 2 controls. Buttons will be the same color and no stand out difference. This is also just the frame the top will be the usual shape and have a bit of overhang. So please through some feedback or ideas. Don't want to build a new CP every year!
Not to scale!!!!

You may want to move the 4-way and/or the trackball slightly so you dont hit your hand on the 4way.
USBs are a good idea, I intend to add a panel flush to the lower front of mine with a USB hub, 2 n64 ports and two ps2 ports at some point.

Just wondering but were I want to place the usb ports on the back side of my CP if anyone has also added there main power switch and pc power switch? If so should I just place a 4 gang electrical box there? I want to keep usb on both sides so it looks like I need about 6" overhang on each side. Again any tips or ideas would be great TY in advance all.
