How or where do you get that font in your layout?

Oddly enough I think its just a standard system font. I'll check and let you know.
Bender:
Can't wait to see this

Gatsu:
yeah. I wanted to post some last night...but I forgot my camera. So I'll post some as soon as I can get my camera out there to take some pics.
Gatsu:
The fun never stops.
Sadly I'm going to have to scrap this cabinet project for a couple of weeks. Some unexpected bills have come up and I need to put together some sticks from the cabinet pieces I've cut out to help pay the bills.
Its sucks....but thats about about all life's been these past few weeks for me. A big bowl of suck.
Anyway. I wanted to change the direction I was going with the cab anyway. Necroticart posted a really cool cab design a buddy of his used. And I'm gonna go for that design and start working on a Astro-style candy cab.
So with the death of this lindberg cab....2 better cabs will be born from it. I'll post again once I get the materials gathered. But for now its dead.
Gatsu:
Well....in another odd turn of events....the bills got paid. And I have some extra money left over. I love family.
Anyway. The project is back on full steam. I'll have some photos tonight for sure.
I'm going with the taito vewlix cabinet that I really wanted to begin with. I'm going with the plans from http://www.donovanmyers.com
He's got a ton of good info on that particular cab and answers questions pretty quickly.
I have 1 issue that needs to be worked out though.
I am going to have a PC and a Xbox 360 in the cabinet. The PC will run the classics via mame. And the 360 will run newer 3D titles like SFIV and whatnot.
My problem....if I use 2 Xbox 360 controllers hacked in the cabinet...I know I can just unplug one and into the other. But thats too much work.
How would I wire it up so that the 360 AND the PC can be hooked up to the same control panel and be able to switch between the 2 easily?
I thought maybe.... the 2 xbox controllers plugged into a USB hub. That hub plugged into a USB Y cable like this [ LINK
and from that Y cable go to the PC and the xbox 360.
I know it'll work to the PC....but Im not 100% on how it'll work on the 360...and there might be some input lag? possibly?
Not really sure how to tackle this one. I wanna try to avoid having to hack up cables or make my own.
