He does 4 player panels too. My order for a custom 2 player panel (36" X 13") was $78 + shipping. I also ordered sticks, buttons and overlay from him and the entire order came to around $150 shipped. His panels are CNC cut, same with the lexan. I am having him do another small panel after this one is done for a mini machine (20" X 6")!
Tell hime Erik sent ya, maybe he'll give me a discount :)

Looks like that price doesn't include the box itself, just the "guts"
Hmmm...is it really that good of a price, not much different than buying direct (except maybe for shipping)
Ipac4, USB board and Feet - $68.00 (Ultimarc)
4 Happ Competition Joysticks - $13.95 each -$55.80 (Happ Controls)
28 Happ Concave Buttons - $1.85 each - $51.80 (Happ Controls)
4 (1-4 player) buttons - $2.30 each - $9.20 (Happ Controls)
3" PS2/Beston Trackball - Happ Version $102.90 (Happ Controls)
Button Nut wrench - $2.50 (Happ Controls)
Wiring kit - $19 (Ultimarc)

Total (Buy direct)- $309.20
123Gumby123's price - $299
I haven't dealt with the guy, so I can't say if his stuff is any good or not, but doesn't seem like much of a savings to me....I might check with a couple other guys on this board....I want to say PONYBOY and DIVEMASTER both sell parts, and have gotten good reviews from the folks on this forum (again, no personal experience).
To the guru's...If I missed anything, please let me know. I'm a noob, and I'm getting ready to purchase the parts for my first panel. I'm planning on building one of these myself, and want to make sure I got the prices right.
Thanks,
PCTech

Pony boy's prices & mine(divemaster127) are much cheaper than this so send either of us a pm if you wish to save money

WOW! :o
Well I checked with DIVEMASTER127 on the items listed above, and he was able save me quite a bit on this stuff....almost 1/2 the price of 123Gumby123's price....I think I'll be sending my business to DIVEMASTER127 on this one. Good Luck!
:cheers:

I suggest really reconsidering the 4 player setup. There is no need for more than 2 on any setup. I look at it as "all show and no go".

Been talkin' to my wife, eh? ;D
CP is actually not for me, building for someone else, who wants to have it for parties.
Although I mostly agree, I think it is difficult to do a "good" 4 Player CP (but I have seen a few here).
2P would be plenty for me...but I'm poor, so I don't get one (untill I sell this one, and a couple more) ;D
