I've been reading the message boards for a few months and couldn't resist and started to build my cabinet this weekend. But before I drill any holes in my cabinet, I'm looking for suggestions on how to layout the controls.
I have:
2 8-way Happs competition joysticks
1 4-way pac-man/galaga joystick
golden tee trackball
and 7 buttons for each player.
Below is a picture with the templates tapped to the control panel.

I think I've already decided that I should move the trackball down some, I'll post a new picture when I'm home after work. Where's the best place for the 4-way joystick?
Edit: I moved the trackball down a few inches and moved the 4-way so that my forearm can rest between the player 1 buttons and the trackball and for the buttons, I can rest my right forearm between the trackball and player 2 joystick. Anything you guys would do differently?
