Well I just posted as soon as I found this site and registered. It was more of an introduction and a hi than anything else.
So if you want to say Hi and give some advice I appreciate it. If you want to be unwelcoming and an azzhole than eat my azz..

holy potty mouth =P Sorry if you think that the replies were "unwelcoming"... usually the people in this forum are really helpful and quite gracious (with only a few notable execptions, myself included)
But you have to see the humor present in this thread: you totally pulled a captain obvious its like you walked into a library and asked the librarian if they had any books (when a quick glance around the room would have alleviated any doubt) =P
Well... welcome anyways (Belated)... This site and forum is a great resource for building your own arcade controls, and I wish you luck on your project and hope to see pictures/website soon.

What I would do..
1) Get a budget... why? years after my first cabinet is playable... I still buy stuff on ebay ;D
2) Decide what games you want to play most of the time.
why? Super joysticks are GREAT for some games... but for fighters I like compititions. Also what kind of control panel you build.
3) Decide if you will build a cabinet or referb an old one. If you cant get a free or very very cheap cabinet... then build one. Unless you are looking for one with a real arcade monitor. then I would get a cabinet that works so you can test the monitor before starting (don't want to spend 100 bucks on a video card to find the monitor is blown).... But if going with SVid TV or VGA monitor, you will strip so much out of the cabinet, that you might as well just build one...
4) Encoder or hack... Best to worse... Encoder, Hacked joystick, Hacked keyboard. Cheapest to most expensive. Keyboard, joystick, encoder. Most keys: Encoder, keyboard, joystick. ... Just go with an Encoder if you can afford it... You will NEVER regret it... (and I've don't them all...Started at keyboard, hated it... joystick... was ok... Encoder loved it)
5) If you are in a small room... Consider building a Multipurpose entertainment system. Svid TV (or VGA card with TV in + TiVo support), VCR, DVD, Dreamcast, PS2, Arcade, ect. There are a few cabinets where the monitor is more straight up and down. My favorit for this is a pedistal cabinet and a wall mounted tv myself. But worth thinking about.
good luck
