knave:
Would you post a screenshot here, I know I'd like to see the layout.

You can host it at imageshack...

QuixoteQuest / Arcades R Fun:  Both good news.

While I would prefer to spread out a bit more, I'm beginning to think this is doable.
I've been looking at the u360 sticks the last couple days and they look like an excellent option. The TT2 was the other component and it looks doable as well.

Arcades R Fun: yes, please PM me and I'll send you my email (or you can PM it it to me?)

My next challenge is to find out the footprint for a 3" trackball.

I'm thinking I'll start laying it out on paper, then a cardboard prototype.  If it looks close, I'll try it on a piece of MDF. Worst case, I lose a piece of MDF and some time.  But I'll be closer to a nice CP!!!!

please keep the suggestions coming, I'm learning a lot!

Thanks Guys!
I'm still gathering information and dimensions.

I located this review on the Ultimarc UltraStik 360 Joystick
http://www.retroblast.com/reviews/Ultimarc_Ultrastick_0925006-01.html

this thing looks AWESOME! 2-way, 4-way, 8-way, diagonal, AND 49-way!!  WOW!  :o
and it's customizabale!

I think I decided on my Joysticks and the Spinner now.
Any trackball recommendations?  I was leaning towards the Electric ICE-T™ Deluxe RGB Arcade Trackball, but need to do further research.

Thanks again guys! Designing is almost as much fun as building, but nothing beats PLAYING!
I also need to decide on a decoder, more research, but I am locating some great reviews.
