Either get the hagstrom stuff or the IPAC4 and optipac.

I have the ipac2 on my cabinet.  I made a 25pin connector from the ipac to the cp.  That way I can take the cp off.  My second cp will have steering wheel, flight yoke, and maybe rotational joysticks.

Yes, you will not need a keyboard even in your cabinet if you get a keyboard encoder.  It sounds like you might need to do a little bit of research...  :)

As long as you have your frontend start automatically after turning the PC on, you will never have to use a keyboard to start anything if you're using an encoder.
